It's exactly what we would love to have some day: a cute little farm and vineyard with a cozy, chummy tasting room. I loved the Traminette in that it wasn't as sweet as one would expect. The floral nose on it was just amazing. Our favorite, however was the Norton. We will be saving that for a special occasion. Anyway, so glad to see the winery getting some attention, as it certainly got ours.

The Wine Source runs these things all the time: five or six wines poured for free in store. While tasting, I wandered around the store snapping pics on my worthless cell phone camera. The requisite Avalon Cabernet. This is the good stuff, not the plonk. A vast selection of half bottles ranging from $9 to over $50. My wine heart has found a home. If Champagne isn’t classy enough already, now you can drink it out of a can! Sofia Sparking Wine isn’t bad, actually, but I’ve only had it out of a bottle so I can’t speak to the aluminum can version. I imagine it can only get better when drank out of a can with a straw. The Rhone Rangers weren’t bad but nothing moved me enough to take a bottle home. I did pick up a half bottle of Brunello and a Rose Champagne to sip on. Coming up this week they have a winemaker’s tasting from Château de la Tuilerie and a tasting of spring sparklers. Wonder if the cans of Sofia will be popped.
