Very cool family winery. Place is nice to drive out to. Like what they are doing with their wines. Cool label. If I were to own a winery it would mirror this place.

Ok... a bit touristy for my taste.. wines were OK.. but the bottles were FAB! Had to buy a few just to have some very cool empties to stuff some candles in.
Horton Cellars Winery (written Dec 07, 2007)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
Cool place. Visited back in early 2000s. Dennis was friendly and the place was very laidback. Horton's Norton was the fav. Interestingly enough Larry Stone gave some good reviews of the wine.

OK.. been there.
Barboursville Vineyards (written Dec 07, 2007)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
The owners are from Italy.. a bit "big" on themselves, but always had a nice experience there. Haven't been there since 2004, actually owned 30 acres of land across from them for a while. Sold it to the winery as my plans to open a B&B faded. Non the less, good wines. Nice place to spend an afternoon... cool ruins.
Winery at Iron Gate Farm (written Dec 07, 2007)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
Interesting place. The folks there were very friendly but a bit too big on their wines. Wines were good and they had a very unusual way of protecting their crop... fences and tents... wow!

Good wines on the back of NASCAR. Oh what a combination. No need for vaccinations to visit this winery.
Biltmore Estate Winery (written Dec 07, 2007)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
OK... Fact: they may have the largest tasting room and the largest number of tasters per year of any winery in the USA. Fact: The wine is average! Bigger ain't necessarily better!
