Tonight we opened one of the bottles we purchased this summer at the Talon Winery (http://www.talonwine.com/) in Lexington, KY. While we were there, we tasted about 8 wines and bought a red (their Cab) and a white (this Sweet Evening Breeze)...The Sweet Evening Breeze is a blend of Vidal Blanc and Cayuga White, two varieties we've never had before. It's really good, but definitely sweet. The name is not at all misleading. This was probably the sweetest non-dessert wine I've ever had. It was a nice change of pace for us, but Krista and I both generally prefer much drier wines. The nose and taste featured peaches and sweet apples...The winery describes it as An elegant Riesling style white wine, semi-sweet with tropical undertones.
Krista and I both highly recommend a visit to the Talon Winery. We had a great time exploring the vines, tasting the wines, and eating a picnic lunch in their pavillion. The boys had a blast running through the fields and enjoying a crisp, cool day at the vineyard (especially compared to the Florida heat that they are used to).
