On our way from Helen to the Wolf Mountain Vineyards, we took the backroads including some of the…read morecurvy twisty roads known as the Richard B. Russell Scenic Highway. Along the road a number of parking areas with lookouts but none were as fabulous as this one which is near the Tesnatee Gap. The drive is amazing in a fancy sports car and if you're a motorcycler, just as incredible. Here at the gap - some 3000 feet ASL according to the GPS - it was absolutely stunning and about what I expected to see. Come back in a week or two and you'll have the leaves changing. This is not the highest point in Georgia. That would be Brasstown Bald and it's about 15 miles north of here and we did not have time to visit. I guess because of boredom, the kids have spray painted graffiti and tags on the parking lot ground. Thankfully, they haven't damaged the amazing view. As for the turd in the big white pickup truck that decided to blast us with his horn... I hope you hit a tree. [Review 15947 overall - 445 in Georgia - 1452 of 2021.]

The home is private property so please respect that. The marker has the same text on both sides. It reads, "The Russell House was built in 1912 by Richard Brevard Russell, Sr., (B. 1861 - D. 1938), and his wife, Ina Dillard, (B. 1868 - D. 1953), who were married June 24, 1891. Fifteen children were born of this marriage. Judge Russell was elected Chief Justice, Supreme Court of Georgia in 1922, and served in this capacity until his death. Mrs. Russell was Georgia's Mother of the year in 1950. In 1954, the late Senator Richard B. Russell, Jr., the oldest son, became the owner of the house and made it his home until his death in 1971. Russell Memorial Park and Cemetery is located to the South of the house." The marker was erected in 1977 by the Winder Lions Club & Auxiliary. [Review 230 of 2025 - 799 in Georgia - 23794 overall]

Hear me clearly! If you want the most amazing wine in the N.Georgia Mtns that is not ridiculously…read moresweet and true to form...look no further than Limoges Cellars ! Hands down the best!!

My friends and I went to North GA to do some wine tastings and suggested we stop at Limoges Cellars…read morefor a tasting. This winery is about five years old and is owned by a couple who wanted to get into the winery business. The wine tasting room is gorgeous with nice high ceilings and a wine bar that extends the entire room. We decided to go with the wine tasting flight of 8 different wines. The bonus is you can bring in outside food to the winery to snack on while you enjoy your wine. The wines were very good overall, and my favorite was the Blanc de Pommes which is a sparkling wine. The Petite Verdot and the Three Graces were also very nice red wines. The Binous is a nice sparking rose wine as well. The winery has a beautiful view of the North GA mountains along with the vineyard itself. Limoges Cellars is pretty new in North Georgia, but definitely has a lasting impact on their wine and location. I ended up purchasing a bottle of the Blanc de Pommes because it was so good and peaked my interest right away. I enjoyed this winery and its ambiance and would definitely come back here for a wine tasting if I am back in GA for a visit. It is a wonderful experience and people should take advantage of this winery and its tastings.
