My wife and I made our annual trip to Door County and decided to visit the local wineries. We returned to Stone’s throw and were even more impressed than in previous years. Their tasting room is always nice and the staff is very knowledgeable. They asked what wines we drink and when we said Zins and Cabs, the gal was excited to show us some really good wines. Their wines are very high quality. Nice to see they keep expanding their selection and their quality is consistent and better in many cases. What a gem in the middle of Door County. We continued to Simon Creek and although it was a nice setting, the wine was mediocre at best. Overpriced for the quality. Not very exciting, similar to the staff. Not very engaging or excited to speak with us. We then went to door peninsula, a lot of fruit wine, which is not our thing. And then to Parallel 44, a new visit. Was hoping for a new destination to stop in the future, but no such luck. Small tasting room, wines very ordinary, many surprisingly sweet for the grapes used and staff very far from welcoming. I even asked about the grapes and the gal could not answer my questions. We will not stop next time. I think we will skip the “tour” and make it straight to Stone’s Throw. They continue to do it well.
