Norton Wine Review: We stopped for a tasting, evening Swiss meal, and overnight parking at Wiederkehr Wine Cellars. In the tasting room we were a bit wowed by an enormous baroque, Italian black oak triptec (approx 24’w x 10’h) supposedly from the late 1700s/early 1800s. Gaudy, to say the least, but appropriate for the tasting bar setting. Though Wiederkehr sported abundant acres of grapes, we were taken back by how many of their dry wines utilized “imported” grapes/juices. For example, though they had planted Gewürztraminer vines, this current wine offering was made from Washington State grapes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a clear wine with absolutely no color. Offered were other wines; as, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc which were not taste typical. When offered their 2008 Cynthiana it was noted that “this was a wild Arkansas grape, not to be confused with the Norton grape which is a hybrid of Cynthiana.” Really? This was a non-offensive, but sweeter than usual Norton (oops, Cynthiana) wine. It would be a safe-to-serve wine in non-discriminating company. Over 30 reasonably priced wines, but none to be remembered in the days, weeks, or months to come

Favorite Wine: Burgundy

The underground cellar/restaurant was very unique with a suprising old world "Swiss Atmosphere". The food was mouth watering and i highly suggest the "Filet Mignon". Hats off to our watiress for her hospitality and friendliness. Our wine tasting was "free" which is not common. The wine was excellant and reasonably priced. I highly reccomend visiting Wiederkehr!

Wiederkehr Wine Cellars, advertise their restaurant as having a Swiss atmosphere, the food we received in the restaurant was fair, service was poor to fair, and the atmosphere was far less than that of a European guesthouse winery. We went to sample wines - they did not rinse the glasses out between samplings which left contaminated wine in the glasses they did have some wines that tasted fairly good it's hard to know whether it was the wine you were tasting or a blend of two wines the one prior or the one you were drinking. If you have limited time; this would be the one winery in this part of Arkansas that I would surpass and go on to the others.The wine rating is tenative based on the tasting that was far below wine tasting standards
