Poca Terra Winery

I discovered last summer that there was another winery, less than 15 minutes from my house. I say another because Purple Toad Winery is also 15 minutes from my house. https://purpletoadwinery.com/ I was a wine virgin (unless Boone’s Hill counts as wine) when I started drinking their wines. Purple Toad wines are more syrupy sweet and over the years my palate has changed to dry and semi-sweet wines. If you do go there, I can recommend their Chardonnay as a fantastic, dry option. Poca Terra Winery definitely delivered in the better taste department, but their wine selection is more limited than Purple Toad. https://pocaterrawinery.com/

Another thing I discovered is Poca Terra Winery hosts monthly Relax and Re-Wine events during the warmer months. Lew Jetton, former area weather man, was the vocal talent. I believe he could also be a comedian. I personally loved his song Waffle House Woman. One of my favorite local eateries, Cafe Celebre, was serving up sandwiches and crepes.

The next Relax and Re-Wine event is on July 15, 2023 from 6-9. Featured musician is Melanie Davis and food by one of my favorite local food trucks, Chimney’s Food Truck. I hope to see you there!!
