Carolina Tasting Room - (July 2017) This venue is a place to try regional wines. The wines for the Carolina Tasting Room are produced and bottled by the Murielle Winery in Clearwater Florida for the tasting room. You get to choose four and the house picks two (in bold
below) based on the four choices made. My wife chose sweet(er) wines and
I the drier wines.
I started with the
Carolina Tasting Room live oak chardonnay, with hints of pineapple and green
apple, then the Hilton Head Sea Island White,
which tasted similar to a vidal blanc, the Carolina Tasting Room Hurricane Matthew
Pinot Grigio (portion of the proceeds goes to help those impacted by the storm,
with hints of pear, the Carolina Tasting Room Carolina Merlot, oak on the nose and
good balance, the Island Winery 2103 merlot,
which was uneventful, and the Island Winery 2015 petite sirah, light on the oak,
which got better by the time I had my fourth and last sip.
My wife had, all by the
Carolina Tasting Room, the Coco Polada, a dangerous mix that is reminiscent of
a Pina Colada, the Coligny Beach Blush, white shiraz blended with dragon fruit,
it was fruity, the Southern Night shiraz,
a berry shiraz of boysenberry, raspberry and blackberry, the Marshside
Raspberry, a black raspberry infused light merlot, the Dafuskie Time Key Lime, not
so tart and not so good, and On the
Green Apple, similar to a Riesling, but made with apples.
