Tennessee has long
been known for whiskey
and country music,
and now for its award-
winning wines.
There are more
than 50 wineries and
30 varieties of grapes
grown in Tennessee.
This budding industry across Tennessee is attracting
tourists and supporting local farmers. This Southern
state is known for sweet wines, not hard to believe
since this is the birthplace of sweet tea!
Over the years, the Tennessee wineries have won
many awards and developed some excellent dry wines
to expand their offerings.
While perusing some of the quaint towns
surrounding Nashville, I found a winery that was a
unique combination of Nashville meets Napa Valley!
Kix Brooks (Brooks & Dunn) and partners opened a
winery just south of Nashville, Arrington Vineyards,
in 2007.
Arrington Vineyards is a beautiful hillside winery
with gorgeous views, tasting room, and wine club.
You truly would think you were transported to Napa.
They have events such as jazz and bluegrass on the
lawn and weekend bonfires depending on the time of
year. For peak grape viewing visit in July or August
before harvest.
What makes their
wine unique is that it
is aged in French and
American oak barrels
for one year and then
aged an additional six
months in a very special
Tennessee charred white
oak barrel.
My favorite of the
Arrington wines is
Antebellum Red (retails
for about $32).
Antebellum Red is
a medium-bodied red
wine with notes of cherry cola, leather and a hint of
Tennessee whiskey.
When you are planning a visit to Music City, don’t
forget to check out this great spot and
set up a tasting to find your favorite!
~ Cheers
