Mount Hope Estate and Winery -
(April 2014) In preparation for an upcoming TVCEF tasting tour, we
visited the winery in Manheim to look at logistics. There wines are
based on series (dry to sweet) and each has at least one read and one
white. My wife enjoyed the Gewurztraminer while I enjoyed the merlot
from their Royal Series. I tried the Knight's Reward (a grape blend)
while my wife tried the Moonlight Encounter from their Fantasy Series.
The Moonlight Encounter is well worth the name. My wife tried the
vignoles from the Euro Hybrid Series while I tried the Harvest Red.from
the Intercourse Series. My wife liked the Harvest Red better. We both
finished our tasting with the cream sherry - brought back memories of
grandparents.
(Oct 2014) - We returned as part of the
TVCEF tasting tour and was greeted by a gypsy. She led us to our tasting
and as we tasted, we were entertained by our host. Although we could
taste all on the menu, we limited ourselves. We ending up buying a case
with our friends.
