Winery Wednesday- Cardinal Point Vineyard and Winery

 We have been to Cardinal Point before, but sometime ago. It was the venue for a wonderfully fun Birthday Bash for my sister on a hot day in July 200_?

We brought home wineglasses from that party that said "Cardinal Point" in crimson, and used them preferentially until the last one was broken some years later. 

So, it was nice that the Random Winery Generator came up with Cardinal Point so we could revisit and get a new glass! We are collecting one glass from every winery we visit, so when you come to Foxcroft Farm you can just remember the winery on your glass, and we don't need to keep track of whose lip prints are whose.

The winery is located in the hills, in a valley, so the view is minimal, but the breezes were still welcome, and there is a large lawn with a stage for nights where they host music. We also saw signs that they host a Trivia Night, and also a Story Night- which is when people come and tell a story to the audience. 

We did a self guided tasting, and were the only patrons for the first half of our stay. The tasting was of 5 different wines; 2020 Green, 2019 Aubaine, 2019 Frai Rosé, 2020 Quattro and 2019 Rockfish Red. There was a QR code associated with each wine that linked to a cute video of the winemaker talking about the wine. 

In this photo I'm about to start into the Frai Rosé, which was our favorite in the tasting. 

The Quattro is the Cardinal Point specialty, as they grow Riesling grapes at CPW, and that is a grape that apparently is not easily grown in our region. The Quattro is a blend of Riesling, Gewurtztraminer, Traminette and Viognier grapes. 

There was not really a food menu, but they do offer cheese balls, and some prepackaged items for eating while tasting.
