Overall, we had a great visit at this winery. Their pourers were very entertaining, however they weren't producing the type wines my wife and I really enjoy, but they did produce some fun sipping wines that are great by themselves or with light summer fare.
After enjoying a quick evening out in VA wine country (Loundon County to be specific), the wife and I decided we were ready for easy evening drinking wine while enjoying an evening of sports and “Diners, Drivers, and Dives.” We decided to open up our bottle of Lake Glass Red.
This non-vintage blend of popular Finger Lakes red grapes has a green earthy smell. Not quite moldy, more like sniffing around the roots of a green pepper plant. The wine was a real fruit bomb. Raspberry was the predominant taste but balanced with a little green pepper, and burning sharp tannins on the back of the tongue.
This wine was not something I’d want every day but in the right situation with a juicy grilled meat, or tangy bar-b-que sauce this wine is a great compliment, or a sipping wine to top off a great evening on the start of a holiday weekend. Either way, it is fun and a signal of things to come from this winery.
