The vineyard was lovely and the building was cozy and welcoming with plenty of room to sit both inside and out. The gentleman behind the bar was helpful and friendly. We purchased a bottle of the Franc The Tank Blueberry - a sweet and tangy cabernet that had our tastebuds singing. We cracked her open a few nights ago and it was just as good the second time as it was in the glass while we sat and enjoyed our little party.

I came to meet friends with whom we will continue on to a local farm stay for the weekend. We sat outside on one of their covered patios. We packed a lunch to have with a glass of their wine. The tasting room looks like a barn and is very welcoming inside. There are plenty of seats for everyone. The warm weather had me wanting a white wine with my lunch. I chose their pinot gris. It has a crisp taste with notes of citrus. On my first visit I had a flight of all their offerings. My favorites are the Sweet Pea white blend and the Franc the Tank red blend. The old tobacco barn across from the tasting room offers another space to hang out and enjoy the view. There is also an accommodation below that makes for a unique holiday experience.

All the red wines leaned towards the dry side, which I enjoy. They are crafted in a traditional French style, with aging taking place in French oak barrels.

I feel it's worth a visit if you prefer dry wines over the typical sweet varieties found in North Carolina.

Here is what we tried: *Semi-Sweet Traminette - just okay. *Strawberry Blossom - this one was better as you sipped and let it sit for a moment. It was definitely like eating a strawberry. *Peach Blossom - Strong peach flavor - amazing! *Cherry Blossom - Also good! *Black Berry Blossom - Slight tart finish, but overall good. We left with a bottle of the peach wine and compared it with some of our favorite NC peach wines when we got home. It is definitely one of our new favorite peach wines! Absolutely recommend stopping by Haze Gray to enjoy some wine!

They actually have the tasting room in a huge yurt . How cool is that?? The Hillbilly wine theme is quite catchy. Bottom line good wine, fine people and very cool setting.

The Blanc De Noirs is fruity and bubbly and a delight to sip. Lives up to the tasting note description of "playful and fun." The Sangiovese Rosé is a delicate and delicious juxtaposition, crisp and peach forward. I liked them all but the Rosé Blend is my favorite, just an all around great rosé.
