A Memorable Return to Black Sheep Vineyard - 7 Years Later…read more It's been about seven years since our last visit to Black Sheep Vineyard, and I've had the itch to return ever since. I'm so glad we made the trip back--it was even better than I remembered. Right from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a welcoming and light-hearted atmosphere. The gentleman running the tasting room--who I believe is the owner--has a friendly, witty sense of humor that made the experience that much more enjoyable. At one point, someone told him, "We Googled wineries near me and this one popped up, so we drove over from Flushing." His deadpan response? "Sorry to hear that." We all had a good laugh. We were able to taste whatever we wanted, and I dove right in. I started with the Leighton, a dry white made from Seyval Blanc grapes--crisp, smooth, not overly tart, and just delicious. I ended up taking a bottle home. Fun fact: in 2018, this wine was $12.95, and now it's $15.95--only a $3 increase over seven years. Not bad at all for a wine of that quality. Next up was the Traminette, a semi-dry white with lovely spicy notes and a touch of citrus. Then the Riesling--aromatic, semi-sweet, and incredibly refreshing. I shifted gears to reds with the Vivian, a dry red made from Frontenac grapes, named after the owner's wife's parents. It's aged first in stainless steel and then for 60 days in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels. It has a smooth, unique finish with a slight tartness that really worked well--I even grabbed a glass of it to enjoy after my tasting. From there, I tried the Cabernet Franc, a lighter-bodied dry red aged in American oak barrels. It had a beautiful spice and peppery aroma--complex, yet very drinkable. Then came the Dark Continent, a bold and smoky dry red made from Marechal Foch grapes. Earthy and robust, this one's a must-try if you like darker, deeper reds. Finally, I had a sample of Hair of the Dog, a semi-sweet red blend made from Frontenac and other French hybrid grapes, also aged in American oak. It had a nice smoky backbone with a pop of berry sweetness at the finish--a really fun and flavorful wine. I learned that some of their grapes are sourced from Erie, PA, and I'm not quite sure what varietals they grow on-site, but it's clear they take pride in crafting each wine with care. Black Sheep Vineyard is definitely worth the visit--whether you're stopping by for a tasting or simply want to share a glass with a friend. The wines are solid across the board, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is relaxed and filled with personality. Can't wait to come back again--just hopefully not in another seven years!

Gotta say, the website was much more impressive than the actual place. This wasn't too far of a drive from Dresden Inn but coming back, we got turned around because of the lack of lights, signage and skinny roads. They have plenty of parking and the string of lights outside was cute. I asked the waitress TWO times whether the sweet potato fries for the sandwich entree was extra and she confirmed TWICE that it was not an extra cost. Welp, upon paying, guess what? It was $4 extra! Just look at my picture to see that like 12 skinny AF fries are NOT worth the extra charge! Their house chips were great. I ordered the brie & jam sandwich and it was filling and delicious. I also ordered a crispy chicken salad and was pretty disappointed at the quality. I abhor cheese shavings on salad (they don't belong on salads!) and there was just mounds of very processed looking cheese. There was not enough chicken pieces for the price, too many croutons, no onion or enough tomato; just cheap lettuce. They don't serve regular glasses of water here. It was all crushed ice! We suspected they were just pre-wine slushies! This was really odd. There's not real wait service but since we sat upstairs, people needed to bring stuff up so I did tip a usual amount. I wanted to experience more of a country, made from scratch type of setting so was not too happy with the very Chilis/Applebee quality and presentation of their food.

I had high hopes for Killing Tree Winery, but was left underwhelmed. The countryside setting is…read moreundeniably beautiful, yet the experience didn't match the view. When I arrived, they were out of nearly a dozen wines--never a good start at a winery. Service felt impersonal and cafeteria-style: you circle your selections, and that's about it. There was little to no description or engagement about the wines themselves, which all tasted fairly ordinary and forgettable. Adding to the disappointment, the main entrance featured a strip of fly tape covered in dead flies--something I've never encountered at a food or drink establishment, and frankly, not the best first impression. There's definite potential here, but at the moment, the experience feels unpolished and uninspired. I genuinely hope they improve, but for now, I can't recommend a visit.

The drinks are crafted for a palate rather than a traditional, let the grapes subject us to their natural design. To me, that is what makes this place one of education. The notion of intelligence is the scientific method of how we experience our reality. Whether that be through language, food, company, or heart gladdening wine, the imperative of a healthy thinker, is to expand beyond the confines of one grape. This School House rocks in that department and you'll better yourself putting everything you know about wine, under an Eraser, & choosing to be a Teacher's Pet (if you're on the sweeter end). Cheers, to everything that makes going to school and drinking wine so GRAPE. Thank you for your craft
