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!

From what I've gathered the directions here are normally up a dirt road. We lucked out and went up a regular roadway. However it's out here far in the woods of West Virginia. We arrived not knowing what we were walking into. We sampled some wine tastings and the wine was better than anticipated. They also had moonshine available. The young lady waiting on us was nice. She asked when we got a glass of wine if we wanted ice in the wine. I'm not a wine snob, but you do not put ice in wine. Just a FYI We sat down and took the view in. As one knows West Virginia does have some nice views. Ineed this winery is sitting on a gold mine of views from at the top. The place inside is quite setup nicely. They did a good job. I asked about the wine and was told they use wine juice v/s grapes. In addition to using stainless steel v/s barrels. Interesting to learn about new wineries. No real signage for me to take a photo, but did my best. We purchased a few bottles of wine.

It's very relaxing and peaceful inside and outside, you almost feel like you are out in the country somewhere. They make their wine and beer on site, which is awesome. There's lots of seating to choose from both in and outdoors as well. We sat inside because it was super hot. They have a little gift shop area where they sell their wines, there's a small area where they sell baked goods as well. The only suggestion is to have some light music or something playing because we expected it to be slow on a Monday, but there was no noise in the entire place.

The prices are more than fair for the product. They have a ton of wine and beer available, including wine slushies. The beer and wine slushie I tried were both delicious. They have table games and plenty of seating available inside. There's also a small deli counter with some pies and snacks available too. Their free popcorn was fresh, buttery, and nicely salted. The staff were helpful, friendly, and prompt. They were quick to fill the popcorn when it was empty and were also handing out complementary mimosas made with hard cider for Mother's day. Can't wait to come back for some more plants and a drink or two!

Casella Winery is a hidden gem in the woods that is worth the trek!…read more I came here with a group of friends a couple of weekends ago. The women working the counter were polite and helpful. They let us taste a few before making selections. If you order a wine flight... be prepared to drink! It came with four different wines and each one amounted to about two glasses of wine! Would highly recommend sharing the flight with others (I did not ) Most of the wine is on the sweeter side. The Labrusco is especially delicious. We ordered a pizza later on in the evening. It hit the spot but wasn't anything too fancy. Just your typical homemade pizza. We went at night but the outside appeared to be beautiful. The inside is quirky with a lot of different seating options and a wide variety of decor. They had live music which was VERY good. It was pretty hard to hear each other but I assume they were inside only because of the rain. There is also a stage outside. Either way the men singing were fantastic.

We enjoy coming here every year and honestly should come more often.

We had such a good experience the first time, we had to come back again when we were nearby. My wife prefers dry wines, I prefer sweet wines, but I'm open to all types. We both found several things we like here and were pretty surprised at the quality of the wine. We did a flight each time we went and bought bottles to go when we left both times. We don't always buy bottles unless it's something we both can enjoy together. The place had a lot of character. Someone put a lot of thought and work into the decor, design, and atmosphere of the place. It was artistic and comfortable. I always appreciate that. We chose to sit at the bar both times, but enjoyed looking around at the walls and taking a trip up the stairs for a nice overhead view of the first floor. The service was great and really is the selling point for returning. It's the number one reason that we'll go back again when we're in town. The wine tasted great, the atmosphere was nice, but it's the service that puts this place over the top. Hopefully we will always have this experience, but I do believe we had the same couple serving us both times. I'd obviously highly recommend anyone who enjoys drinking wine, going to wineries, or trying out new places.
