Our current wine selection.

(To purchase our wine, please call or email us with your request.)

2006 Chardonnay
This Chardonnay was fermented and aged in French oak barrels using the French "sur lie" method. It has fruit flavors, a soft buttery feel and mild oak overtones. $16

Gewürztraminer
This is a versatile, crisp wine with tropical fruit characteristics and just 2% residual sugar. It goes well with fruit, cheese, cheesecake, stir fry, Thai food or by itself while sitting in the shade on a hot sunny day. $14

Vidal Blanc (Gold metal winner :: NC State Fair Wine Competition)
This semi-sweet white wine is light and fruity. It is a very “food friendly” wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes but also hits the spot all by itself.$10.50

South Mountain Scarlet (Bronze metal winner :: NC State Fair Wine Competition)
This dry red is a blend of Merlot, Malbec, Petite Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It pairs well with barbeque and many red meat dishes.$12

Chambourcin (Silver metal winner :: NC State Fair Wine Competition)
This wine has a beautiful deep red color with a great aroma. It has a good tannin/acid balance with a nice long finish. You could “lay this one down” for 6 months to 5 years.$20

Blackberry (Bronze metal winner :: NC State Fair Wine Competition)
This fruit wine is a unique combination that starts sweet and finishes tart. It was made from 100% fresh local blackberries--not from concentrate! This is not just a dessert wine. It pairs well with foods such as turkey and pork tenderloin.$18

Plus, we are about to bottle new wines including a new Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, a Rose and Niagara!
