Photos at Pearmund Cellars during Autumn

I stopped by Pearmund Cellars for a visit today.  I found a great selection of 2010 wines.  I was able to taste their 2010 Merlot, 2010 Chardonnay, 2010 Petit Verdot, and their 2010 Ameritage Reserve.  All wonderful! The 2010 Petit Verdot is the 2013 Sunset International Silver Winner.  The 2010 Ameritage Reserve is the winner of the 2012 Jefferson Cup Medal of Merit.  I also tried the Vin Del Sol, which is a Spanish style sherry.  It has 16% alcohol.  It is very sweet and smooth with a nutty flavor at the end.
