This is the last weekend to taste the wines from the barrels on two of the southern Pennsylvania wine tours, Uncork York and Barrels on the Brandywine. If you decide to do the Barrels on the Brandywine tour be sure to also stop at VaLa winery which is not listed on the trail website, but still in the area of the tour.

Barrel tastings let you try wines before the wine is finished and bottled by the winemaker. A few years ago I went to one of these tours and tried the same wine from 4 different vintages, comparing the flavor changes from different weather patterns over the years and time in the bottle or barrel.
Maybe I'll see you along one of these trails this weekend.
