Villa Bellangelo - (August 2016) When we walked in, we were instructed by the cashier to go to the back tasting bar to do our tasting. The bar was crowded so we waited our turn, but after awhile, no one acknowledged us. There was activity in the side tasting room so we walked in and looked around. The tasting bar host greeted us and explained that they were in the group tasting room and that he did not have the entire selection that was available at the other tasting bar. We were welcome to do our tasting there, but we would be limited to what he could offer. We decided to go back to the other
tasting room. It had cleared out a bit and when there was a hole at the bar, we stepped up. The attendant explained the tasting policy and after taking our payment, allowed us to choose our wines.
I started off with the dry Riesling followed by the Tuller Vineyard Riesling, more a semi‐sweet wine. I then had the cabernet franc, merlot and Meritage, a blend of merlot, cabernet franc, and cabernet sauvignon.
My wife had the Bella Fresca, their house wine, moscato, and their scooter series: white – made from
Niagara, pink – made from Catawba, and red – made from concord.
The wines were not exciting.
