Dry White Merlot (Rosé)

Zimmerman Vineyard
Trinity, NC

This past Sunday, a group of friends got together at Zimmerman Vineyards in Trinity, North Carolina.  The air was crisp and the temperature was hovering just above 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 Celsius).  However, when we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome in the tasting room. We both took a glass of their dry White Merlot out to walk through the sunny vineyards. When we returned, we were happy to see an outdoor fire was started for us to gather around.

There is nothing like an adult campfire to start enjoying wine, food, and friends.

Enjoying a Tasting

At Zimmerman Vineyards they say "Great Wines...No Myth".  The myth refers to their logo (see their wine glass) where the punishment of Zeus to the disrespecting Sisyphus was an eternity of pushing a rock up a hill, only to have the rock roll back down the hill before reaching the top.  To me, it alludes to the life of a farmer.  Each season their challenge is to deal with what nature has created and the struggle to do their best.  And then, as the seasons change, you're back at it again.

We enjoyed the tasting with our group of twenty, and everyone went away with wine they enjoyed. Outside we gathered with shared dishes to celebrate friendship and watched the sun start to slip behind the hills.   Thanks to Norm and Leslie Zimmerman, who should be proud of their destination vineyard.  Cheers!
