I've got my backups at Arsenal, and they are all fabulous, but nothing is as special as the Snowbound. Yes, it really is that amazing. To The Business: THANKS! I really appreciate what you all are doing, with, the exception, of not making Snowbound year round. :) :) :)

Arsenal is conveniently located about 3 minutes off I-79 at Soergels Orchard. Today we bought a pumpkin cider and two sorbets. I believe the sorbet is a seasonal product and it is definitely worth trying out. It was extremely smooth and flavorful, and it was actually better then I thought it was going to be. As for the Apple Pumpkin flavor cider, I can not wait to try it later. I do not have any doubts that I won't love it. This is also a seasonal flavor. I love how they are continuously making new flavors and every time I arrive there is one I have yet to hear of. Their Archibald cider is my favorite and it is always available as far as I know. The bottles the cider is poured into are glass and you can bring them back every time you go back for more! When you do that, you do not have to pay the price of the bottle. If you are ever in the area, I suggest stopping in!

We were in Zelienople for a musical and stumbled upon this newly opened winery. Apparently, there…read morewas a winery here in the past, but this one just opened up. We were warmly greeted by Todd and Gina, the owners, who couldn't have been friendlier. Todd told us all about their wines, including the awards they've won, especially in California, and generously offered us the chance to try any of the wines at no cost. We started with the Gruner Veltliner, a bright, citrusy, and crisp wine. It was extremely dry compared to other Gruners we've had, which are usually more fruit-forward, but it was still quite enjoyable. Next, we tried the Riesling, which was also very good. My wife moved over to the semi-sweet side and tried the Traminette, which I eventually sampled after trying all the dry wines. We both really liked it. I then tried the Cabernet Franc, which was a medium-bodied wine with notes of raspberry, blueberry, and a light mocha oakiness--delicious! The Chambourcin was also quite good, without the typical bite or tartness. Lastly, the Flagship Red, a classic Bordeaux-style dry red, had a pleasant hint of pepper and was definitely a standout. Todd shared that they exclusively offer wines from Stony Run Vineyards in Breinigsville, PA, which has a wide selection. They're also planning to offer Old Fashioneds soon, as their winery includes a distillery, and they'll be featuring a "drink of the week" as well. What really sets this place apart, though, is Todd and Gina themselves. They're genuinely kind people who are dedicated to the community, and it was heartwarming to learn that they both served in the US Military--Todd in the Navy and Gina in the Air Force. We're already looking forward to our next visit when we're in the area again. Don't forget to thank them for their service when you stop by!

I have tasted many of their sweet wines, hate dry wine but they have that too if that is your thing. My favorites are Coco Vino (just a hint not overdone chocolate taste), Chamborain (sp - stronger sweet wine), Volant Red, Blackberry. If you combine Chamborain & Blackberry it makes for a nice drink. I highly recommend this place. I've sampled wines from various local wineries and Volant has them beat. I can't imagine why slushy wine would have any appeal to adults but again if that is your thing. I'm glad most of their wine is in classy bottles in liquid form.

Palate Partners has become one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh. Located in the Strip District…read moreright across the street from Penn Mac, Palate Partners has a wide range of wine and wine merchandise for sale. Note, due to the archaic PA liquor control laws, you can't buy wine and take it with you the day you buy it. Instead, you have to wait two days to pick it up. However, they have wines that are not available at the PCLB stores and the wine merchandise makes for great and reasonably priced gifts. Most importantly, Palate Partners holds wine tastings every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. For $12, tasters get to sample three whites and three reds selected by the store owner. These wine tastings are a great way to try new wines as well as a way to decompress and socialize on a Friday after work.

The store itself is filled with wine related items available for purchase. I highly recommend the holiday themed wine glass koosies they make for a great conversation starter at a party. The only downfall and it is not their fault but PA laws will not allow them to sell you wine to leave with that day. You have to come back in a few days. Palate Partners also host wine tasting events a couple of times a month and I highly recommend them. The host wine tasting classes the first and third Fridays of every month. They usually pick wines that people would not normally choose themselves when at the W&S store. They sample three reds and three whites. It is relatively inexpensive but a great introduction to wine tasting. If you are looking for a gift for a friend/family member who enjoys wine this is a great stop.

We enjoyed all of our wines and the overall atmosphere of the location. They had lots of wines to choose from to buy to take home, fun and colorful glassware, wine accessories, and other silly little wine-themed trinkets and gifts. Both ladies working were incredibly friendly and showed us the wine gift boxes they were setting up (they were so cute and would be the best gifts- they said they even put a bow on them so they're ready to hand out). We were chatting with one of the ladies about the Taylor Swift wine-themed quotes on the wall behind us and ended up bonding over her music, which was fun. My friend bought some glassware to put in her daughter's hope chest and a couple other little trinkets. I bought a bottle of the elderberry pie wine and 2 of the most beautiful hand-painted wine glasses that have sunflowers on them for a co-workers birthday present (if I remember to, then I'll update my review later on with a picture of them because I forgot to take one before they were wrapped up). I was also very tempted to buy the long-stemmed, colorful wine glasses in the photo I did take of one of the stemware areas, but didn't want to risk breaking them on our way back home since they seemed more fragile. I definitely recommend stopping in here for a delicious glass of wine and to browse for holiday gifts!

As soon as I entered the store, an employee kindly greeted me, and she explained that the driest wines are on the top shelves and the sweetest wines are on the bottom shelves. My husband and I enjoy sweet wines, so that information helped me. I chose a bottle of grape-strawberry wine, and the employee offered me a few mini cups of that semi-sweet flavor and other, sweeter flavors to taste-test. They all tasted sweet and delicious. I purchased the grape-strawberry bottle of wine for $21. The employee put the bottle inside a bag and thanked me. I think that this store also sells some olive oils and packaged chocolates.

The delightful owner was at a booth with some of his signature flavors: tomato, cherry, pomegranate and more. Everything was amazing! So unique and worth the visit. He makes the more traditional flavors as well, but I think he has something going with a lot of these off-the-wall flavors. Best thing about the business is him. You can tell he is a genuine Pittsburgh guy so has a true love for the craft of wine making. This is a hobby turned into a business and you can see that just by speaking with him. His creativity totally shows! I've yet to visit the actual winery due to limited hours, but I'm excited to pick up a few bottles!
