New England Wineries in the Fall
Massetts. Cranberry
Today was a great day in New England. The sun was shining, the air was brisk, the foliage was still somewhat colorful, and gas prices were down. I decided to start my visits to local wineries. My first wine tasting excursion was to Hardwick Vineyard and Winery located in Hardwick, MA where they were having winetasting in the upstairs of the barn which is adjoined to a mansion. I tasted 4 of the 8 available wines. I really enjoy a white zinfandel and was informed that the Yankee Girl Blush was very similar. It was very delicious. I then sampled Massetts. Cranberry which I also thoroughly enjoyed and also purchased for Thanksgiving. My friend Ann liked the Hardwick Red and the Yankee Boy White. I found the YBW not to my liking, which leans toward a sweeter wine. Between tastes, we rinsed the glasses and nibbled on the cheese and crackers provided for the tasting. The winery also has a small adjoining gift shop. We then went for a walk on the properties and located a huge foot. I have no clue what the foot is for but all I could think of was Lucy and Ethel stomping on grapes in a huge wooden vat. Can’t wait for my next winery visit. Hmm, wonder where that’ll be.
Grape Stomper?
