Connecticut wine trail
Me and Mrs. Vino hit 3 Connecticut wineries over the weekend. Stop 1 was the Heritage where we did the sampling for 2. Cost was $25 which included 5 wine tastings and lots of cheezes. All of the wines were fragrant and interesting. Mrs. Vino even detected a "hair permanent" odor that you smell at the hair dresser - and as soon as she said it I got it too. Fortunately the wine didn't taste like that. We then went to Jonathan Edwards winery, which was a large operations. They mix their CT grapes with their CA grapes to make some great wines. Beautiful sunny deck, great rural CT setting and lots of young people (like us - ahem.). Lastly we visited Stonington which also was a beautiful setting and good wines at more affordable prices than the prior wineries. I recommend a visit to any of these vineyards to ALL my readers. Don't forget a GPS, because it isn't easy finding these wineries!
