…Jones Winery Chardonnay was quite nice and we always enjoy the Dornfelder from Presque Isle Wine Cellars ( PA). Heading into Virginia, I had never sample the Lovingston Winery Petit Manseng - giving us another incentive to visit the winery. Needlesstosay, there was quite a few wines being sampled - other favorites included the Colorado Cellars Winery ( CO) Gewurztraminer; Gallifant Cellars ( AZ) Chenin Blanc; and Stone Hill Winery ( …

Cherries and bacon fat, mild nose, light and thin body with a lingering sour cherry flavor. This is by far the best German red wine I've ever had. My first experience was with a rather disappointing Dornfelder. This pleasant Pinot Noir would be delicious with kielbasa or other dense pork sausages.
Note: These wines were provided as samples.
…Oh my, how do people drink that stuff?
My second dip into sweet red was a Dornfelder from the Rheinhessen. Nope.
My third dip...I dropped the idea.
Maybe it's low acidity, maybe tannin with sugar doesn't work for me (I never put sugar into coffee or tea), maybe it's the kind of fruit from red wine, maybe it's a combination of things, but something happens to red wine when it is sweet, and that something is quite unpleasant to my palate.
…best pairings I've had with turkey and cranberry sauce was a Lingenfelder's Dornfelder, a pinot noir from Germany. I believe that some beaujolais crus such as Morgon, Moulin a Vent would also work well.
You've worked late and missed dinner with your wife/partner. You grab a bottle of wine and her favourite dessert. What are you bringing?
Laura likes sweet wine so I always keep one in the fridge for sipping. Her homemade chocolate cake is perfect with Prince Edward…
…Franconian heritage with a portfolio consisting of Blaufränkisch, Dornfelder and Grau Burgunder (a German clone of Pinot Gris). In fact, we first sampled these three wines at 8 Chains North Winery which hosted Bauer's wines before the new tasting facility opened in April. 2012. Note: 8CN's Ben Renshaw oversees the famed Tranquillity Vineyard (located adjacent to the Otium Cellars estate) which is a very nice parcel of land with the grapes sourced …

GENEVA, N.Y. - Dornfelder, Blaufrankisch, and Zweigelt. Sounds like a German law firm, but in reality they are wine grapes that may be the key to unlocking New York's wine future.
I visited three superb Seneca Lake wineries here last week, nearly 32 years after I first toured the Finger Lakes and discovered the potential for great wine.
I was no visionary. I merely listened to earlier pioneers, tasted a few experimental wines, and have been a keen, almost annual visitor …
Red Tail Ridge Donfelder - The Dornfelder is a blend of their estate 2009 and 2010 vintages. Brambly aromatics infused with black cherry, strawberry preserves and dried fruit. Cassis also rears its wonderful head. Medium to light body on the palate with more dark fruit, dried fig and brown spices. Velvety texture with a tart finish. Excellent.
McGregor Pinot Noir 2010 - A light bodied, Loire styled Pinot Noir. The color is just like a rosato. Nice, bright acidity and a great cherry …

Yes, it was quite a day of vineyard tours and wine tasting. And yet the day was not done. TasteCamp participants were given a brief respite at their lodgings at the Loudoun Convention Center and then treated to a barbeque dinner hosted by Mark and Vicki Fedor of North Gate Vineyards . The Fedors offered a tasting of North Gate wines, but campers were also allowed …
