Not Quite the Lisbon, But Close Enough Heritage Trail Vineyards, Lisbon November 1, 2008 March 2013 Update: Closed! Which isn't surprising to me... If you read this page all the way through, you'll see how it really fell apart. Interestingly, I think our first visit with Diane Powell owning it was great. Then … [Read more...]

Connecticut Valley Winery
"Like, Wine? Fer Shure, dude" Connecticut Valley Winery, New Hartford October 5, 2008 That horrid title is my Valley Girl lingo attempt. But thankfully, like you, I've forgotten how they talked. I have not, however, forgotten about our 2008 CT Wine Tour goal of hitting 14 of these joints before November 7th. … [Read more...]
Priam Vineyards
Priam and Proper Priam Vineyards, Colchester October 18, 2008 After two stops at South Glastonbury sites, Damian was being so good we decided to continue down Route 2 and press our luck. (As you can imagine, I always have a contingency and/or extra side trip plan in my back pocket on all of our adventures.) … [Read more...]
Land of Nod Winery
I Just Can't Say No! Land of Nod Winery, East Canaan October 5, 2008 “Are we there?" Yes. "Would you like a tasting?" Yes. "Do you like this?" Yes. "Do you like that?" Yes.

Rosedale Vineyards
"Eeeee-very Rosedale Has Its Cooooorn. And Wine." Rosedale Farms and Vineyards, Simsbury September 2008 I find myself using the word "bucolic" a lot on this website, and it's starting to annoy me. Thesaurus.com gives me arcadian, campestral, pastoral, provincial, rural, and rustic. "Campestral" fails the … [Read more...]
Chamard Vineyards
"I Did Not Have Wine at that Vineyard" Chamard Vineyards, Clinton July 2008, August 2008, and again in 2010 Clinton, Connecticut is a lovely town. Really, it is. One of my favorites so far on my years-long tour of the state. Beautiful coast, beaches, many intriguing shorefront properties; a quaint and historic … [Read more...]
Gouveia Vineyards
THIS is Wallingford?! Gouveia Vineyards, Wallingford July 19, 2008 Our little family spent the late morning at the Lyman Orchards "Berry Festival" which more or less consisted of us eating a delicious fresh blueberry funnel cake and walking around the grounds. Oh, and Damian kept picking up random trash on the … [Read more...]
Sunset Meadow Vineyards
My Goshen! That's Good Wine! Sunset Meadow Vineyards, Goshen June 15, 2008 As with many of these old winery visit pages, this one deserves an update with better pictures and more wine descriptions. I'll get to it someday. Oh, and there are now two Sunset Meadow locations, with one up in Sheffield, Massachusetts … [Read more...]

Anything you say can and will be used against you as you sample another varietal. You have the right to buy a bottle of wine, even on Sundays in Connecticut. If you … [Read more...]
Jerram Winery
New Hartford is the New Hartford Jerram Winery, New Hartford May 18, 2008 [December 2012 Update: Wow, this is a weird page to revisit. Jerram was the second winery I’d ever visited – in my life. I remember being so wide-eyed and excited about the whole wine trail thing that I first learned about during this … [Read more...]
