“specializing in sparkling wines”

Our first vines were planted in the spring of 1973, and have been increased with later plantings. Today our vineyards cover about 13 acres and we are planting an additional 5 acres in the spring of 2007. The vineyards today include the direct producer varieties vignoles and seyval and the vinifera varieties pinot noir, pinot gris, chardonnay, and pinot meunier. Vignoles is a hardy, distinctively flavored variety that is used in our Cremant [100% vignoles], and is part of the Talismøn vineyard blend. Seyval is a neutral variety that forms the basis of Sandpiper. Pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay are the classic varieties of Champagne, and are used in varying combinations in nearly all of our sparklers. We grow more pinot noir than any other variety. Pinot gris is a variety that once was grown in Champagne - we grow it because we like it in blends as it offers a 'roundness' of flavor that complements chardonnay.

We visited Mawby Sparkling Wine room, just around the corner, after our stop at The Big Little. We found more people here on the outdoor patio. There were heaters for the chillier days to come. I ordered the Dry-er flight consisting of Blanc, Tropic & Green wines. My husband ordered a glass of Redd and the whitefish pate. I was expecting more of a champagne-like experience with the wines, so I was a bit disappointed. The wines were okay, not great. Tom raved about the whitefish pate. He finished every drop and licked his fingers afterward. Our tasting fee included the glasses, which we packed in paper to take back with us. The friendly staff all wore masks, and the tables were well distanced- nothing to be afraid of!
