The wines from Prospect Hill that would be unusual to some would have shown better on quality alone. The Viognier was sweet and unbalanced and the cider felt to me like it was over the hill. Cider is something my crew is pretty familiar with since I make a good deal of it myself. Some folks liked it mixed with one of the red wines at the tasting, but that is kind of a cheat and doesn't speak to the cider in any way. <br /><br />On the flip side, after two rounds of local seasonal beers Maine took 3 out of 4 of the top spots. There is something in that I think. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />JasonJason Phelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877600888412262376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703965921091069609.post-79471030357066723512011-10-13T08:43:05.700-04:002011-10-13T08:43:05.700-04:00Do you think that the wine didn't show well be...Do you think that the wine didn't show well because people weren't familiar with the varietals?Gretchenhttp://vinoverve.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703965921091069609.post-74293841033559122402011-10-11T09:53:28.896-04:002011-10-11T09:53:28.896-04:00Good to hear you found a Maine rep to make up for ...Good to hear you found a Maine rep to make up for the NE England tasting!KovasPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401299101228398072noreply@blogger.com
