North Carolina Wine Festival
The 17th Annual North Carolina Wine Festival was held on Saturday, May 27 at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, NC. This year's festival had over 30 wineries and 50+ exhibitors.
Blessing of the Vines
Burntshirt Vineyards held their annual Blessing of the Vines event on May 13, 2017. It was an honor to be a part of such a special event.
Biltmore Estate Chardonnay
We were surprised to find this particular Chardonnay to be delightfully smooth. Biltmore's Chardonnay has a warm, oaky taste with crisp fruit flavors.
Duplin Winery Carolina Hatteras Red
Carolina Hatteras Red is Duplin Winery's #1 selling wine, so we decided that would be a wonderful bottle to experience.
Silver Coast Winery Calabash White
One of the wines we purchased from our visit to Silver Coast Winery was their Calabash White. We both enjoyed this table wine during our wine tasting, and knew it would be a refreshing white wine to pair with seafood or poultry dinners.
Silver Coast Winery
Driving onto Silver Coast's property felt like it's own private retreat, nestled back off of the main road and tucked behind rows of muscadine grapevines.
Biltmore Wines Pinot Noir
We recently purchased a bottle of Biltmore Wines Pinot Noir from a local vendor. We decided to pair it tonight with beef. The low acidity of this Pinot Noir complimented our main course and fresh sides. This is a sweeter Pinot Noir and we enjoyed the cherry notes it provided.
Our Toast to the Carolinas
It took some time, but my wife has finally come to enjoy wine. With more than 100 wineries in the Carolinas (over 140 in North Carolina alone), we were intrigued by the idea of being able to visit all of them, enjoying their fine wines, entertaining festivals, and signature charm.
