Every year, Creekside Cellars hosts wine and cheese fest. During the event, many people come in to taste wine and cheese from around the region. Wining Husband and I were curious and decided that we would attend. Boy, were there a lot of people there! We were glad we showed up a few minutes later into the event so that we wouldn’t have to claw our way through lines of people to get to a place where we could try the various wines featured by our favorite spot.
Our favorite wines of the event came from Epic Wines, Doe Mill, and Youngs Market Company. Standouts included:
- A to Z Pinot Gris ($16) **
- Breggo Pinot Noir ($30) ***
- Titus Cabernet Sauvignon ($43) *
- Elyse Morisoli Vineyard Zinfandel ($36) ***
- Montsara Sparkling Cava ($15) *
- Sequoia Grove Cabernet ($49) **
- Michael David 7 Heavenly Chardonnay ($28) *
- Treana white blend ($23) *

- Trefethen Harmony White ($50) **
- Talbot Logan Chardonnay ($20) *
There really was quite a range of wines both in terms of quality and taste (the first table we visited was disappointing to us) and in terms of price point. The great thing about events like these is that you get to try out such a wide range of wines, so if you’re someone who doesn’t know a whole lot about wine, you can learn more about what you like and what you don’t like. we definitely added some of the wines to our cellar wish-list.
