Around 5:00 we left for our bed & breakfast at the tip of the north shore in East Marion. On the way, we stopped at Habres Family Farm for a quick wine tasting. One of their sons was working the tasting bar today, before he leaves for Cornell this week..
The family flight of wines was forgettable, 2 chardonnays and 1 merlot. I usually don't enjoy fruity wines, but I enjoyed their Yellow House Chardonnay which was a bit fruity. We moved over to the reserve tasting. The Reserve Chardonnay was interesting. At the end, there is a delicious taste of butterscotch which we both liked. The Merlot was nothing to write home about, so we bought a bottle of their Reserve Chardonnay. I look forward to enjoying that lingering taste of butterscotch back home.
If your kids are with you on your wine tasting, Habres Family Farm is a definite stop. Today they had pony rides, hay rides and live music. Kids will love it. The Habres Family has been farming for 30 years in this location. In the past 2 years they started producing wine from their vineyard. They also have lots of fresh produce you can buy as well.
