Pennsylvania - Snyder - Shade Mountain Winery and Vineyard

Shade Mountain Winery and Vineyard - Jan 2020 - A tasting at the PA Farm Show consisted of 2017 Chardonnay, medium bodied with a nice buttery ending, while the 2017 Riesling was on the sweeter side with a nice orange finish. The 2016 Cabernet Franc was earthy with a buttery ending, the Proprietor's Red, made with Chambourcin, had a slightly sweet finish, similar to a Fredonia wine while Rascal Red, their sweet sangria, was fruity with a light sweet ending.

The big surprise was the Six Dwarfs' Mint, fermented spearmint, which had a nice aroma, good flavor and a slight sweet finish. This can be added to other beverages, giving needed flavor.  Granny Z's Mint Iced Tea, which is brewed tea with the mint wine added was good, but could have used more tea flavor
