Pennsylvania - Chester County - Stone Barn Cellars

Stone Barn Cellars - (Dec 2014) My wife attended one of their "Ladies Night Out" where they served a buffet-style dinner while patrons can purchase glasses or bottles to drink with the food selections. I decided to go check it out to see if it could be a potential stop on one of our upcoming TVCEF tasting tours. I started with the pinot grigio; it has a clean, crisp finish. Their Night Owl, a catawba vidal blanc blend, surprised me; I was expecting more sweet and I enjoyed the dryness with hint of sweet. I finished the whites with their Niagara (so I'd at least have something for my wife); no as sweet as typical Niagaras. For the reds, I started with the Wild Man Red, made from Lemberger, which I had not heard of until today. It has a hint of oak; not heavy and enjoyable. Their Hat Trick is a blend of Corot Noir, Baco Noir and Noiret; two more grapes I learned a bit about today. This one has a bite to it - very enjoyable. I finished off my tasting with the Bonfire - 100% Noiret. We'll definitely be back!!!
