Pennsylvania - Chester Coounty - Taste (Sand Castle Winery)

Sand Castle Winery (aka Taste)  - (Mar 2015) - My wife and I enjoyed a food pairing at their tasting room Taste in Phoenixville awhile back and when a colleague was leaving our group, since they enjoy wine, we decided to go back to Taste for a tasting (also close to work).  I only tried one red on their menu, the Santo Rouge (a dry red house blend) since the whites seemed more appealing. I compared the private reserve and classic Chardonnay; the classic was better and I'd have to say it was the oak that did it (the private reserve is fermented in stainless steel). I also compared the dry and the semi-sweet Reislings. I enjoyed the dry better, but as an added treat, I also got to try the late harvest Reisling. Although more like a dessert wine, out of the three, this one was the best overall.
