A bit of a disappointment compared to some of the other wineries in the region.

While this is the probably one of the oldest continuously operating growers of fruits and now grapes the wines leave much to be desired. The Rieslings, Gewurtztraminer the mainstays of the region lack the fruitiness and have the bitter taste that I don't like. According to the tasting room staff the best seller at the winery is Concord grape, which makes for a sweet desert wine but hardly noticeable as a dinner wine.

The tasting room is a worthwhile mention all on its own. The decor is great and the staff is knowledgeable but it may be the weekend that we were visiting but the room was over packed and the staff couldn't give the tasters enough attention to try the wines. Tastings are not cheap $5 which is more expensive then most others and it is only partially credited if you buy wine. There were a few times we had stopped in before but the lines for tasting were huge even though I can't say that the wines warrant such an attention.
