When I asked the owner why he planted grapes like Sangiovese, Barberra, Nebbiolo & Syrah, he answered - "Because I like'em!". Best answer of the day! While he specializes in reds, all of them had very low tannins, so white drinkers would enjoy this place too. What I tried: 2015 Chardonnay: Some citrus but fairly smooth. 2016 Sangiovese: Very soft with cherry notes. 2016 Nebbiolo Reserve: Not bad but not my favorite. 2016 Syrah: Also OK. Roaring Red: Chambourcin and some Sangiovese: Boldish and noticeable sugar. Rose: Not a 'real' rose but rather Syrah, Chardonnay & Sav Blanc blended together. Made in a dry style.

The slushee was definitely more palatable for me and didn't taste too much like alcohol. The place had a very calm and fun environment. There was a foosball table, games, pool table, ample seating, and a reading nook type area. The view from the tables was really beautiful. The drive there was a bit wild (we took many wrong turns LOL) but still worth the drive! We didn't talk too much to the person at the counter but they seemed chill enough.

My husband and I shared a tasting of their entire menu, along with their mead and fruit wines. So literally tried everything. The mead was fantastic, and I liked how different some of the wines were - like the Sweet Sofia, an herb infused wine that tasted like Thanksgiving dinner. The price to try all 16 wines with pretty generous pours - $16. You cannot beat that price in the area. Check it out!

Speaking of VIR, if you're there, you're a leisurely 1 hour jaunt from Hunting Creek Vineyards in Clover, VA. Perfect getaway for a Saturday afternoon. This is the first winery I've been to where I liked each wine presented to me, honestly. I thought that our first trip last fall and thought that again this trip. After the tasting (accompanied with crackers, chicken salad, and grapes), the four of us split a bottle of Chambourcin Rosé. Lovely wine, dry with a hint of sweetness. What we purchased for consumption back at the Old North State was a bottle of this Rosé, and my favorite - Indulgence. Indulgence is a blend of Bordeaux varietals which is tweaked each year to reflect the perfect balance between these Bordeaux varietals. I believe next trip, I'll pick up a bottle of their port as well! Wherever you drive from, Hunting Creek is well worth your time. Sandy and Milt are wonderful people and gracious hosts. I wish I could remember the name of the young lady conducting the tasting as she was knowledgeable and charming. Go, now!
