Pennsylvania - Lancaster County - Mount Hope Estate and Winery

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.
