Employee was explaining to me about their winery and vineyard.

“Be open minded and get out of the comfort zone”, it was the first sentence I heard when I explained that I am a student who is studying wine in college.
There are way too many wines out in the world, and people think that wine will be good if the price is expensive. But some of the wines are just expensive because they are somehow well known. 

Gate of vineyard was close, so could not get closer look of vine.

Channing Daughter Winery is mineral soil, and climates of maritime with water from sea. The Vineyard grows and makes 6 different rose grape variety, 17 white, 4 pink, 4 orange (skin Fermentation of white), 18 red, 2 fortified, 6 Vervino Vermouth (Aromatized fortified), 3 sparkling, and 6 Petillant Naturel.
Because they make so much of different types of wine and prefer manual-harvest, decided to partner up with North Fork Vineyard, and makes wine with half of their grapes.

Still next to the wine tasting room – Vinification facilities are not open for customers.

Wine tasting room

As I joined the wine tasting, employee was repeating the word Flight which is the industrial explanation of trying wine. As we flight, he explained about the wine we try, and educated customers in to the wine in general. For example, when one of the customer was asking to have champagne, he started to talk about “method champenois”, and “riddling”.

During the wine tasting

He also talked about how all of their rose wines are bottle fermented and as wines are filter more and more, they lose its flavor more and more.
And also, there should be a guide line of making wine, but no rules should judge any wine making process because no one knows what kind of great wines can come out when its free of those rules.

Sediment of white wine (yeast)

During the wine tasting, I was able to see the sediment of Tocai Friulano which is the white wine. It came out of last pour of the bottle.

Vervino wine which puts the picture of its aroma instead of explanation in the word

Vervino wine is one of the very special wine that they carry. It’s fortified and automatized wine. With grape brandy it makes the beautiful aroma, and it’s slightly sweetens with a little bit of local honey. Everyone in the tasting room enjoyed this wine so much. But the only concern about this wine is that aroma is too strong, it overcomes every other flavor and last very long.

Wine club info

They do have a wine club for free every month, providing 11 different types of wine, and and 2 bottles to take home. It surely was amazing experience, to learn more details about wine.
