Chahlton Orchahds

Or Charlton Orchards for those that speak normally. The hubs, a friend and I decided to take an impromptu drive out to Charlton, MA over the weekend to check out the winery at Charlton Orchards. The farm and the land itself was typical Charlton...a tiny bit run down, and cows and chickens running loose, but the wine store was very cute and the wine itself was actually very good. They had a pretty large wine list for us to taste from, including more grape wines than I thought they would have(orchards tend to have a ton of fruit wines, and not a lot of grape wines)! Well, we tried a bunch..I tried their Riesling, a red wine called Chambourcin, their blueberry, pear, peach, plum and cherry wines. The grape wines were pretty good! The Chambourcin was something I've never tried before, and it was a white wine drinkers red wine..not too dry or harsh, it was pretty light and a good wine for the summer. And the fruit wines tasted EXACTLY like what they said they were. We ended up buying a bottle of the blueberry and pear. YUM. Happy Summer!
