PINOT GRIS
When is a wine a cocktail? When I say it is!
I took a limo ride today with my sister, some old friends
and new ones, to a charming winery in Norton, Ohio, called the Winery at Wolf Creek.
We whittled away the hours talking, eating, strolling through grapevines and
lake trails, and playing Truth or Dare Jenga — a great drinking game. And of
course, we drank lots and lots of wine. Norton, Ohio, may be far, far away from California both in distance and wine quality, but I was impressed with all the wines that I tasted, and fell most in love with the PINOT GRIS. It was fruity, but dry, with a nice aroma and pleasant aftertaste. If you usually go for Chardonnay, I suggest trying a slightly fruitier Pinot when you want a change.
The Winery at Wolf Creek is perched atop a hill and provided great views. The busy crowd provided great people watching. There were many groups like ours and many who brought tablecloths, lots of food, decorations, cakes, you name it, to celebrate birthdays and other special occasions. As long as you were buying some wine, the winery didn’t care if you monopolized some tables all day. It was a great scene and a great day.

Hi Connie,
ReplyDeleteRecently been introduced to some awesome cucumber cocktails. Have you tried any of these. Made with cucumber voda and either lemoncello or tripe sec. Yum and very refreshing for hot summer nights.
