Our friends know that Chan and I love wine. In fact we love it so much we count down the days until we get to go back to wine country. When one thinks of wine country where does ones mind go? Recently we visited our friends in Sonoma County CA. I think most people would agree that Sonoma, being right next to Napa Valley, is good wine country. BUT, would you ever consider North Georgia wine country? Back in June we traveled to N GA for a little R&R and found out that there are some nice “small” vineyards there. Our favorite one was “Blackstock Vineyards”. Unfortunately we arrived late in the day and only had an hour to enjoy what the vineyard had to offer, but we made sure to get in a tasting before they locked the doors. The vineyard is rolling and in the distance you can see the Blue Ridge Mountains, you almost think you’re in CA. Well, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it is beautiful to say the least. If you live in the southeast and want to enjoy a little get away, head up to the Dahlonega area and enjoy some local wines. Check out their website here: http://www.bsvw.com/index.shtml
