Cardinal Hollow Winery in West Point, PA |

November 9, 2012.
Today we met Rob Boyd, who gave us a tour of the new winery in West
Point.
We were very
impressed to say the least. First of all, at 9000 square feet, the
place is BIG. |

|
This is the wine bar where we'll be sampling the wine during the
grand opening. |
| |
|
|
|
Plenty of seating. The tables
are supported by real barrels. |

A lamppost and a fountain. |

The winery controls every
aspect of production, fermentation, bottling, storage and
temperature. Because of this the amount of
sulfites in Cardinal Hollow wine is a fraction of what is in
commercially produced wine. |
There are over 20 varieties
of wine
as well as wine related products and
gifts. We thought the battery powered
corkscrew was pretty cool. |
|
|
|
So how does the wine
taste? We're no wine connoisseurs, but we thought it was
great.
I had to ask, "How do you make
apple wine? Why doesn't it turn into cider?"
Stop by and find out! |
