Just want to pass this on to anyone interested in wine. We make the wine for the families tasting room and I am the controller for the company so consider the source. I am not on the sales side of thing but do approve the sales.
Naumes Family Vineyards is heavy on inventory on some wines and is going to have a blow out sale. All of the wines are really good and very highly rated. The wines are ‘18 Pinot Gris, ‘18 Rose of Pinot Noir, ‘16 Chardonnay and ‘17 Viognier. The Pinot Gris has a slight protein haze the does not affect flavor and isn’t noticeable in glass. None of these are sweet wines and except for the Viognier are off of our vines. Did I say this was really good wine? If anyone is interested let me know and I can get you the details. The PG & Rose will be $60 case and the Chard and Viognier will be $120 case. They will ship but are selling whole cases only and can only ship to states that allow it. If this post is not appropriate in here let me know. I just want to pass on a killer deal on some excellent wines. The reviews are out there and these are highly rated especially the chard and Viognier. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maybe the place to post this. I have no vested interest in the place, but on a recent visit it St Augustine, FL found a little mom and daughter-in-law shop in the old city called The Gifted Cork. They offer five tastings for $5. March was South African wines with a choice of whites, reds or moscatos. Best white was a semi dry Chenin Blanc by Simonsig. A clean finish. Got a bottle, and would buy again. Also on a recent mountain vacation found a good North Carolina Riesling from Linville Falls vineyard and winery (and Christmas tree farm). Slightly sweet and priced about $12. Selected from their create your own wine tasting flight. I also like Schmitt Sohne reisling, but the Linville is more refreshing. And sold in the local markets in the area. On vacations I seek out wineries, and prefer buying a bottle that is to my liking for a souvenir instead of typical tourist knickknacks. That's an awesome choice for vacation memories! A few years ago I started trying to declutter...to go a little more minimalist in my life. It's hard. Stuff is very sticky, and hard to let go of, for me. But one thing I did manage to do was STOP BUYING SOUVENIRS. I need NOTHING that I have to dust, or just to look at. I want nothing that I own just to "have" it. No collections. Nothing that doesn't get used regularly. My new motto has been "collect moments, not things," and wine fits that perfectly. |

I am checking with Staff to make sure, but I'm fine with this. Just letting people know about a good deal. I don't think you're here to sell stuff. Not getting that vibe at all.  @Justsayin |

Not getting that vibe at all. @Justsayin Correct. I get nothing from the sale other than the pleasure of hooking people up. I know a couple members are taking advantage so I am glad I could pass it on. |

Just made an impulse buy yesterday.
Bought a bottle of Ava Grace Chardonnay. Have had the Pinot Grigio and really liked it. About $8 a bottle and pretty tasty for what it is. A little peachy and very crisp and dry. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sometimes its fun to add "history " to our wines 18th century chicken w/rhenish wine https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/35509/01C85D7B-3015-42C7-869D-18B7B9B814D2_jpe-1918996.JPG I still wanna make that.  @die-tryin I think there are a lot of folks here who might enjoy the story of that chicken, and why you chose that wine, and how you found it, etc etc. I sure enjoyed it, and on my list of things to try, is that dish. You have to give them the background of HOW you cooked it..... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Opened a bottle we got from a recent Trader Joe’s run It’s a pretty dry reisling by Joseph Handler. We get a bottle or two whenever get to go. Also planning on drinking a bottle of the Ava Grace Chardonnay. Haven’t tried it yet but had the Pinot Grigio and was impressed for the price. https://www.oakandbarrelnyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/JOSEPH-HANDLER-PFALZ-RIESLING-750ML.jpg I wish we would get a Trader Joe's here. I think our town is big enough now, to support it. But getting a new grocery store here is like getting an unguided tour of Fort Knox.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just got this in...this Champagne is one of last ones owned and operated by the founding family. It is a blend Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. I'll report back once we open it in a couple weeks for upcoming event. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/82023/20210321_160840_jpg-1874940.JPG Very interested. I have no experience with Pinot Meunier. Wondering if it's a blending grape for the Champagne region. Take pictures if you haven't already done away with it!

We have a client with some in the vineyard. I have a case of his wine and still haven’t tried it. Need to open a bottle this weekend. It is a traditional grape for sparkling. |

We drive to Charlotte, Charlottesville, or Pittsburgh usually on day trips, or Mrs. G sister will mail us stuff from NH if we are desperate. |
