Zimmerman Vineyards

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! The weather was amazing here in North Carolina. We finally had a few days where you can actually go outside and enjoy the warm weather! It's typically super humid here during the summertime and it makes it hard to even breathe outside so low eighties with low humidity was a very welcome change! I could get used to this kind of weather.

On Saturday, I stayed home most of the morning cleaning the house and taking care of things I have been putting off for about three weeks. But I was ready for a little adventure by the afternoon. We decided to take a 20 minute road trip to Zimmerman Vineyards in Trinity, North Carolina. This adorable vineyard is out in the country and the views are amazing! My husband and I visited this vineyard over a year ago and I don't know what took us so long to go back for another visit. 

We did the tasting last time we were there so decided to go with our favorite from last time, the White Merlot. It's one of my very favorite wines because it isn't too sweet and it's not too heavy.

2016 White Merlot: A lively, refreshing medium-bodied wine with a depth of fresh fruit flavors balanced with good acidity.  It is a Provence style Rosé, which is not overly sweet and considered a DRY wine. Some cheeses go better with white wine, some with red; yet almost all pair well with dry rosé, which has the acidity of white wine and the fruit character of red.  Perfect hot weather drinking!

 This was the perfect Saturday afternoon staycation activity. My husband and I love visiting vineyards so if you have any favorites, please share them with me! 

I hope you have a wonderful day! Thank you so much for stopping by!
