Favorite Wine: 2010 Chambourcin

The Chambourcin here was remarkably fantastic. The day I visited, they were also serving mulled wine made with one of their sweeter red wines. I didn't taste it, but I appreciated how there's a wine for every palate at this winery. Indeed, this is one of the coolest locations for a winery in this part of the state, an old elementary school with all original fixtures and spaces. Dining in the gymnasium, the tasting room in a classroom. They even have a blackboard in place. The ambiance was fantastic, and I suspect the dry whites are as great as the Chambourcin.

I really liked the neat gift shop and the lady working in the tasting room was a very friendly hostess. I wasn't blown away with any of the wines but I'm a sweet wine gal and they didn't have any amazing sweet wines. Neat place!

Favorite Wine: Cynthiana

The physical plant is a lot larger on the inside than it appears from the outside. Lots of choices in the gift shop area. The wines were okay if unremarkable. Look for the wines to imorove as time goes on. The owner is very nice and has a great knack of making you feel relaxed. At least this was our experience as the only guests on a Thursday morning. We found the reds better than the whites. His Cynthiana was a little different and in a good way. It is a nice alternative as a semi-sweet style Norton. Still prefer the dry personally but this should broaden the base of those who like Norton. We will stop again.

Cute winery in an old school. Nice shop with lots of things for sale. Average wines.

Beautiful location and worth the drive. The building is an old schoolhouse, so there is lots of room inside, and you can drink inside during inclement weather. The White Eminence bumps up the wine score for me.

Favorite Wine: Buoyant Blackberry

This winery is a nice stop along a beautiful drive. It is worth it to stop and try the Buoyant Blackberry wine. It is unlike anything I've ever tasted. We always stop and pick up a couple of bottles when we travel from Nebraska to KC.

Very nice people. Good selection of wares in the shop. Overall fairly average though.
