Living in Atlanta makes it so easy to do so many fun day
trips and this was a perfect Saturday adventure! First some of the friends went
to celebrate another friend’s birthday.
Stop #1:
They had two tasting options #1 was $10 and included samples
of 6 I believe and #2 was $20 and included a few more samples but mostly
champagne. I really could care less about champagne so I chose option #1.
Let me start by saying I have a very particular wine taste.
I enjoy a dry white wine in the summer time from time to time and hate Chardonnay
(do not like the oak/butter taste). I would say I am more of a reds fan love
the Malbec and Cabernet. Oh and I really do not care for Merlot. Wow glad I got
that all out there I feel better. Wine is fantastic because there is such a
wide range of taste and price points. I myself am always on a mission to find the
best $20/bottle I can find for an everyday drinker.
Wolf Mountain had beautiful views as I am sure you can see
and it did not rain! Loved the inside area with a wood feel and they even had a
café. It was a Saturday so of course it was crowded but overall a good first
stop. I thought the prices were great however I did not care for really any of
the wines other than a couple of the reds. If you like champagne however this
is your place!
Stop #2:
I believe this winery has the best tasting wines in north
Georgia from my limited experience. My boyfriend is a member here so the
tasting is always free so I do not really remember the cost. I would say I
enjoy the majority of the wines here even some of the whites. They will not
blow your socks off but a delicious reasonably prices bottle of vino.
Disclaimer: I have been to many MANY wineries and the
majority being California (Napa/Sanoma) region. I have recently created a love
for the Malbec mostly made in South America. Bucket List trip is on the list to
Argentina no worries there. Georgia wines I do not think you can even compare the
two because they have a very different taste but being pretty close I would say good bang for your buck.
Before rain...It poured for like 10 min but then there was a rainbow!
How fun! I have similar wine tastes as you - I loathe the oaky/buttery chardonnays, and love Argentinian Malbecs! Argentina is an awesome place to visit, so you should definitely keep that trip on your Bucket List. =) PS - Can I also say how jealous I am that you live in Atlanta, because you have both that awesome aquarium AND an Ikea so close to you?!
ReplyDeleteLooove touring wineries! It's always nice to try different things and find something that you enjoy before buying a bottle. There's nothing worse than opening a bottle, pouring a glass, and then discovering it's not what you'd hoped it would be.
