When we entered
the tasting room and there were already three ladies there, who had just
started their tasting so we joined them. The wines available for
tasting were all fruit wines. I tried the apple, which was tart but dry,
the peach, with good aroma, which I felt would be better slightly chilled, the pear,
which reminded me that it may have been fermented with the skins, the
raspberry and the blackberry; I preferred the apple. My wife tried the pomegranate,
scuppernogg, strawberry, Ms Mary’s blush, a blend of muscadines, and the Tobacco Road red; none of them appealed to her.
I went to look for the
apple wine and noticed a cabernet franc ice wine so I asked the tasting host if
these were true ice wines, because of their style. She went into a room and brought
out some of the cabernet franc wine for us to try. She asked us to be quiet
about it because a group of people had just entered the tasting room and she
was not sure if she was allowed to do it. It was not sweet and lacked
traditional cabernet franc flavor. I decided to purchase the Riesling ice
wine and an apple wine.
