Pompous Ass Winery - (August 2016) Yes, this is the name of the winery. We drove past in northward and decided to see what it was about. We pulled in the parking lot and walked into the crowded tasting room; the name must be the reason.
We walked up to the bar and although it took awhile for a tasting host to greet us, she apologized
for the wait. She explained the tasting policy and took our payment. We tasted all the available wines.
We would both try the Highfalutin Red, a blend of marechal focht and cabernet franc. They posted notes of butterscotch but I got plum. The Chardonnay had no aroma or taste, but was dry and crisp. Pure Arrogance, made from traminette, has several sweet aromas and flavors going on, but none were overpowering or stood out.. The 2013 Riesling had honey sweetness on the nose. Their Big Ass Red is a blend of cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, but the cherry overtones as stated were undertoned.
The Kick My Ass white was a blend of Cayuga and Vidal blanc, with a honey aroma. The Kick My Ass blush was a blend of cayuga, vidal blanc and concord; tast. The Kick My Ass red was the Highfalutin red with concord added; the concord overpowered the other grapes. The Pretentious port, the same as the KMA red, was fortified with brandy; the alcohol was over powering.
