We tried a new to us winery a few weeks ago. Many of the wineries here now offer a sit down wine tasting for a fee, it's a bit more educational than just someone pouring a sip and telling you what it is.
This was at Magnus, a winery that we've driven past countless times. There are SO many wineries in the area; many come and go. We have our favorites and just never made the stop.
Our tasting included a small personal charcuterie, which included a couple of cheeses that they also make, as well as other local products. The first wine had 0% residual sugar and I thought, "Oh, Tom's definitely not going to like this!". As a general rule, I prefer drier wines while he prefers sweeter. It was actually very, very good - Tom said he was surprised. As it was a stop on his birthday, it wasn't one we went home with, though - he did choose sweeter ones.
