Wineries & Meaderies

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. At the end of 2014, I had "caught up" and had “completed” the list; having been to every open winery in the state and written about them all. It felt good. … [Read more...]

Joseph Preli Farm & Winery

July 22, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

You Say Tomato, I Say Don’t Make Tomato Wine Joseph Preli Farm & Winery, Glastonbury July 2019 Ugh. Here we are again. In that awkward place. You know, that place with wonderful people in a beautiful setting on a gorgeous day… serving me criminally bad product. With the massive growth in the brewery, winery, … [Read more...]

Bethlehem Vineyard

November 5, 2014 by Steve Leave a Comment

O Little Town of Bethlehem Bethlehem Vineyard November 1, 2014 Yes! My 35th – and last! – Connecticut winery! Why, I ought to celebrate with some wine, don’t you think?

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. This place was built as much for weddings as for wine tastings and such. Which is great for them, and since they were new to the Connecticut … [Read more...]

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. Even when you’re thinking about the big boys like Jonathan Edwards or Sharpe Hill as you enter the small driveway to Walker … [Read more...]

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. We have enjoyed plenty of wines from the Portland... … [Read more...]
