Winery Visit - Trump Winery

The last stop we made on March 10th was the Trump Winery.  This had the best wines and the best view by far of the three winery's I visited.  This winery is owned by Donald Trump and was opened on October 2011.

I was impressed with the amount of wine the trump winery had on its tasting list.  It was $10 the same as the others, but you got to try almost twice the amount of wines.  The selection was rather impressive and featured some of their best wines, such as sparkling wine and rose.  There was also a fortified wine, named CRU,  that had jack daniels blended with a sparkling white wine.  This was my dad's favorite and we ended up purchasing CRU, a sparkling wine and New World Red. 

It was interesting here as well because the wine expert that served us wine goes to Virginia Tech as a grad student.  She mentioned that I was the third person from Geography of Wine to visit the winery that day.




Unlike the other winery's though they didn't brew here, but featured only a tasting room and restaurant. This winery was more crowded than the others and the restaurant definitely helped add to the setting. I plan on returning here in the spring/summer when the grapes are in full harvest.
