Shelton Vineyards (written Aug 05, 2010)
Wine: 
Winery: Ambiance:
Too much emphasis on sweet wines. Red wines were thin and a bit off. Beautiful building and grounds. Location in the northern Yadkin Valley is apparently a good place to grow Reisling.

Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
Beautiful facilities. Wines show promise. A bit expensive for what you get.

Limited tasting selection, but had a nice Chardonnay and solid Meritage. Friendly winery staff.
Williamsburg Winery (written Aug 05, 2010)
Wine: 
Winery: Ambiance:
Favorite Wine: red blend
Horrible tasting experience. No one would wait on or even greet half-a-dozen customers. Regemented tasting. Focus of location seems to be the restaurant not the winery. Confusing mix of very similar red blends. Many of the better Williamsburg wines were not available at the winery.
Grove Winery (written Aug 05, 2010)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
Favorite Wine: Cab Sauv & Nebbiolo
Really nice dry reds. Tempranillo and Merlot were very big & solid, but Cab Sauv and Nebbiolo were most excellent.
