Tucked away in Humboldt, TN lies a winery. My parents enjoy visiting local wineries. They enjoy the wine tastings, and they usually buy a glass and some wine. This time I happened to be with them. It's a little difficult to find, so we had to use the GPS. The outside is a nice rustic building. They offer tours, but we did not take one.
There is a bar area, where a person can sample some of their wines. The girl who worked there was very knowledgable and offered us suggestions based upon our preferences. We were also given a menu of sorts to take notes on and to decide what we wanted to try.
First, I tried the three red wines that were more dry and less sweet. They were all pretty good.
I also tried the Tiara wine, which was sparkling. It was very good.
I ended up buying Barrel-Aged Chardonel. It's similar to a Chardonnay. However, this one was aged in a barrel giving it a darker hue with more "smokey overtones." She said that it would be reminiscent of bourbon. This one was my favorite, and I liked the different taste of the wine.
I also got their Sangria blend called Buck Naked. It's a "sweeter Sangria blend of Chambourcin and Muscadine with hints of ginger and lime."
This place is a nice day trip from Memphis, so I recommend taking a visit. They have red wines, white wines, sparkling wines, speciality wines, and even a strawberry wine.
