Holiday season is around the corner and we have been expanding our inventory to meet the needs of wine lovers. New vintages of old favorites have been bottled: Storybook, Speedway Sweet, and Castle Grigio. Zuckerwein is in the tank as of this writing, getting oaked and will be ready in a few weeks.

Our Wines Report

Made from a blend of Norton and Chambourcin grapes grown in the Nearwood Vineyard. This dry red wine is light-bodied in the Beaujolais style. This white wine is a nice balance, not too sweet or too dry. Made in the style of Pinot Grigio from Edelweiss grapes grown in Agency, Iowa, it pairs well with fish or white meats.

Not the experience we expected. We traveled to Iowa for a weekend with friends. Ordered two bottles of different whites. Both had a strong vinegar taste. We each took a sip and left both bottles with another couple who just arrived. Usually I’ll finish a glass no matter what I get, but couldn’t.

Great place to relax, try some wine, buy books from local authors. Not a wide variety of wine (or books. Lol) but enough for everyone to find something. Entertainment every so often. Writers group every Thursday evening. Friendly staff.

This place is a hidden gem. Fish and chips fresh, hot and right out of the kitchen. A glass of fine wine. A pleasant southern breeze. Great service and hospitality. All served at the Zen Garden on Savary Sunday at Nearwood Winery. Priceless.

What a gem. We sat with the owner, Joann Van Natta and listened to the story of their place, their vision of how it came to be, and some other casual conversation. This would be n excellent venue for family get together, a work gathering, or as we did a relaxing stop along the rod that day. With COVID protocol, the events are limited at this time so keep them in mind for any wine needs and when the world returns to normal. The Raceway Red 2019 is (correction- was) excellent. Support your local places like this to make sure they are hear after....

A newer winery with a lovely couple running it. Great tasting room. Tend toward dry wines. Set up for live music.
