To continue #NCWineMonth we enjoyed a 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from a hidden gem, @grovewinery in the Haw River Valley. Located in Gibsonville, NC @grovewinery has some outstanding European style wines. This 2014 Cab was outstanding. Be sure to visit your local NC winery, or be like us and visit them all! #ncwine #ncwino #wyntrvlr ✌🏻❤️😊🍷 (at Boiling Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/COhw82jp8jh/?igshid=r31ocm0yc56c

We kicked off #ncwinemonth by visiting one of the NC wineries we have not made it to before @linvillefallswinery. Beautiful winery! They have gorgeous views and wonderful wines. The Brandy Barrel aged Cabernet Sauvignon is amazing! The Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Barn blend were our favorites and made the trip home with us. The Wiseman View dessert wine was great also. Definitely a great day trip to the beautiful NC mountains. #ncwine #ncwino #wyntrvlr ✌🏻❤️😊🍷 (at Linville Falls Winery) https://www.instagram.com/p/COXoHzJJfvG/?igshid=1lgbuzh8bvlat

Shelton Vineyards 2017 ‘2-5-9’ Petit Verdot (SRP $25): Two things I learned during a recent North Carolina wine chat were: (1) Petit Verdot is an up-and-coming variety in the state, and (2) the Yadkin Valley appellation is capable of growing Petit Verdot fruit of world-class quality. This is a fine example from Shelton Vineyards. It pours a deep ruby color. Aromas of black cherry and purple stone fruit are joined by fruitcake, cocoa dust and a bit of espresso on the palate—all framed by fine-grained tannins, ending with a medium-long, polished finish. An appealing, well-balanced wine that's ready to enjoy now or cellar. I enjoyed a glass whilst cooking and later with grilled coffee-rubbed beef tenderloin.

Cypress Bend Vineyards Catherine: I didn’t realize how popular muscadine wines were until I visited North Carolina several years ago. Southerners have long made wine out of wild muscadine grapes for home consumption; and the fruit extends to pies and jellies, too. Named for the family matriarch, this wine is 100% estate-grown Carlos—a widely held cultivar bred in North Carolina. It pours a radiant golden straw color, opening with candied tropical fruit and honeycomb flavors, followed by bright notes of ripe stone fruit. Medium-bodied, brisk acidity tempers the sweetness. This wine is an excellent candidate for spicy ethnic cuisine of all kinds and sells for $12. Visit cypressbendvineyards.com to learn more.
