Purple Toad Winery

Purple Toad Winery 2

Spring time will be here before we know it and one of my favorite things to do is go on road trips and visit wineries that are along the way.  It’s a great way to check out new wines and I’m not one to turn down a chance to support small businesses either.  You know just doing my part to help the economy…LOL.  Here’s a trip a took a few years back that I’m hoping to visit again this year.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Purple Toad Winery in Paducah, Kentucky.  Any time we take a road trip, one of the first things I do is to check and see which wineries we will pass on the way there or back home.  Several came up, but the Name “Purple Toad” just sounded like it would be a cool place to visit and the reviews on Yelp were pretty good.

Purple Toad Winery is located on the edge of Paducah, Kentucky.  The name “Purple Toad Winery” originated from the color of your toes when grapes were pressed the old-fashioned way.  They combine modern wine making techniques with old world knowledge to produce award-winning wines.  The winery is quaint and just off the beaten path.  Once we arrived we were greeted by Shadow, a black labrador, who quickly made his way onto the sun porch since it was so darn hot and humid!  Inside the shop there were several gifts and wine related items available for purchase.  Ian, our server, was so nice and handed me a listing of all of their wines. Since I would be driving home I decided I’d limit my tastings (which are free) to just four.  😉 [Read more…]

Beans Creek Winery

April 30, 2014 by Alisha 20 Comments

If you’ve taken the time to read “All About Me” then you know that one of my favorite sayings is “Everyone needs to believe in something.  I believe I’ll have another glass of wine!”  I mean seriously wine makes everything better.  Heck even food with wine in it taste better!  I’m just sayin’…

 
 Today’s post is a review of one of my favorite local wineries located in Manchester, TN which is about 60 miles outside of Nashville.  Beans Creek Winery began when Tom made his first wine in 1976 in a pickle crock in his mom’s kitchen along with his childhood friends, Joe and Dan Lasater.  He spent the next 30 years perfecting his wine style using grapes and fruit grown right here in Tennessee. With the help and support of other local wine growing families, Tom’s dream became a reality.  beans Creek Winery offers a wide selection of Tennessee wines, which I had the pleasure of sampling…yum!
Once you arrive inside the winery you are greeted by a friendly staff.  The inside of the winery shop was quaint and made you feel right at home.  Before partaking in sampling the spirits, I perused the store and found some very cute items.  Of course being a winery they had wine glasses.  But in addition to that they had cute aprons, napkins, marinades, jellies, ornaments and jewelry.

Look at all these yummy goodies! And the wine cozies are adorable!

Happy Wine Wednesday everyone!  If you recall from last week’s edition of Wine Wednesday I really love wine and I love a great winery even more.  A few weeks ago I visited Monteagle Winery located in Monteagle, TN.  The drive there was perfect and once you reach the top of the world, I mean Monteagle, the view is even more breathtaking.  The winery is located on top of a hill and the mountain setting serves as the perfect backdrop.
