We visited Haze Gray on Sunday afternoon and spoke with the owner, who provided us with valuable…read moreinsights and detailed tasting notes about their wines, as well as information on the winemaking process and the winery's history. 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. Overall, I appreciated the wines we tasted, and we decided to take home a bottle of Petite Verdot. I feel it's worth a visit if you prefer dry wines over the typical sweet varieties found in North Carolina.

Haze Gray is another new NC winery for us recently. It is a lovely quiet winery, at least when we…read morevisited, and dog friendly (people friendly, too!)! We got a wine flight with some slushies. 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!

We decided an afternoon winery visit would be a lovely way to spend Father's Day. We chose…read moreChristian Paul because it is always a top notch experience. We have learned to check websites to make wineries aren't closed for special events, etc. before we visit. When checking the website I saw that they have a new Rosé and are currently offering a Rosé Flight, which we both ordered upon arrival. We were impressed with all three versions. 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. Plenty of comfortable, shaded seating on the patio overlooking the picturesque hillside vines. Live music. We chose

Two weeks ago my wife and I stumbled upon this place will visiting a few vineyards. The main serving room is beautiful, environment is peaceful and the wine surprisingly good. We did a full tasting and sampled several wines. Pour after pour we were thoroughly impressed with everything they served. Not only did we love the wines, we loved the variety of wines to match different palates. What also impressed us was the owner took the time to come out and speak with us to discuss the craft of wine making. Absolutely try the Viognier and The Black Oak Stick Chambourcin. You can't go wrong with these.

We had the pleasure of meeting and speaking at length with one of the owners. The wine tasting "flight" I enjoyed offered a generous portion of 6 different wines.

Rick and Mena are great hosts, the tasting room is lovely, but you come for the wine. And you come back for the wine! This area has new vineyards and wineries popping up every month, but the Spanish and Portuguese wines MenaRick produces are special. I had never tried an Albariño before, and that's the bottle I bought. Their red table wine (blend) was one of the most delicious wines I've ever tasted, and since it will be totally different next year, I'm going back for a couple bottle of that. Save room for the blackberry wine though, even if you "hate sweet wines". If you are from out of town, don't let the drive in worry you, you will eventually arrive somewhere wonderful.
