Nordic Moon Meadery (Closed)

August 8, 2019 by Steve 2 Comments

Pretty Lo Ki Nordic Moon Meadery, Ellington April 2019 What you're reading right now is a placeholder of sorts. As I write this in August 2019, Nordic Moon's tasting room is not yet open. I don't know when it will be open. It might be open when you're reading this... or maybe it never opened. If and when it does … [Read more...]

Arrowhead Acres Winery

July 30, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

A Chief New Winery Arrowhead Acres Winery, Franklin July 2019 During my five year hiatus from checking out Connecticut wineries, a bunch of new ones opened.

Preston Ridge Winery

November 5, 2014 by Steve 2 Comments

Stompton, Smashton, Preston Preston Ridge Winery, Preston September 28, 2014 We had tried to visit this winery a few times since it opened only to be stymied by a wedding.

Walker Road Vineyards

November 4, 2014 by Steve Leave a Comment

DYNO-MITE! Walker Road Vineyards, Woodbury June 28, 2013 Connecticut’s wineries all have much in common, from the wines served to the tasting room set-ups to the countrified air about them.

Arrigoni Winery

February 28, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

Don't They Know How Much People Hate the Arrigoni Bridge? Arrigoni Winery, Portland October 20, 2012 I forget exactly when I learned of Arrigoni, Connecticut's newest winery (as of late 2012), but I remember thinking, really? A winery in Portland? Hm.
