As a pre-Valentine thing (also known as "it's Sunday, it's raining, and we're both bored out of our skulls",) TCB and I took a trip up in the mountians to
Georgia's Wine Highway and stopped in for tastings at
Frogtown and
Three Sisters. It was getting late, about 4pm, but both were open: Frogtown for their 2004 release party (postponed from last week because of ice.) Both places were nice, but I liked Three Sisters better: their wines, while I didn't like some of them really at all, at least all tasted different from each other. I especially liked their Dahlonega Gold, an
ice wine that's done by cryogenically freezing the grapes instead of leaving them on the vine, like they do in Canada. But since they froze them artificially, they can't call it an ice wine, just a dessert wine. We ended up with a bottle of that, some of Three Sister's Vidal Blanc (made with the same grapes as the Gold), and Frogtown's Vineaux Blanc and Roussanne. Last night, with dinner we had some of the Frogtown wines, and I just wasn't too thrilled with them with food.
