essex wine report

I am sorry that I haven’t been posting as much as I would like, but it has been a very busy month. But Saturday was a joy! Beautiful day and Vlad went to the puppy spa, Terry was busy with taxes, Myles was at his dad’s so I had three hours to kill. Well the puppy spa was off Walker so I headed south. Why yes, aren’t there wineries just off of Walker???

First stop was  View Pointe. Always good stuff and the Pinot Noir was still on sale. I suggest getting some as it is a steal at $15. Good stuff and I will do a review soon. New offerings are on their way but snag some Pinot…..if only they would get a sign.

Next stop was CREW and they too are about to release BUT the are blowing out their Gewurtz so get some before its gone. Its really good.

Same story at Erie Shores, but they are so nice to visit with and of course Liz wanted some Stellar Secret and Summer Sun so I got some for her...Liz come get it. 

Now to Sanson. New stuff soon to be out but the have Berkshire pork and some of their own cattle. I have had the meat and its wonderful…..way too good for tacos, but made an awesome Bolognese. They will have heirloom vegetables too!!!! Now this is great...get some wonderful meat some wine (they make great wine) veg et voila le diner. What more could you want. Good food, good wine...add friends and music and life is good.

Went by Muscedere and the are re-opening with their new releases on the 19^th …..no problems, except the ran out of wine after Christmas, which is a good thing. I am looking forward to their Pinot and Riesling. For larger tastes the Baco I’ve had was really good, and I don’t like Baco.

By now Mastronardi’s Gewurtz should be out and it’s wonderful, possibly better than last years, which is a big deal.

Aleksander has a new Cabernet and I got some today. Again more to come out.

And of course last but not least is Sprucewood who released their Meritage about a month ago and should to have releases soon.

This time of year is exiting as the new releases are almost there so visits are fun and different.

Well happy tippling.

Enjoy!!
