Mountain Brook Vineyards

A group of friends and I visited this winery yesterday. As a group, we typically visit local vineyards every few months. Hands down, I enjoyed this one the most to date. The quality of all of their wines was exceptional. The owners were friendly, incredibly accomodating to our group and very involved in our experience at their vineyard.

WARNING! I AM NOT A AVID WINE DRINKER!
Two words that describe this place: Super welcoming!
We stopped in for a wine tasting and were shocked how busy they were. It took a little bit to get started and then a little longer to get a seat but the wait was WORTH IT!!! They owners are extremely inviting and love to talk about there vineyard and what makes them different. I enjoyed taking the tour and learning about the wine process and the different barrels.
I am a craft beer person, but when in rome… I enjoyed all the wines surprisingly. The tastes were good and not to overpowering. I also enjoyed that they cut up some cheese and passed it around to everyone during there wine tasting. This place also lets you keep the glass you sample wines from. FREE SOUVENIR!!!
They offer cooking classes which we definitely will schedule!

Love love loved the overall experience we had here. Our first time. This is a small vineyard on only several acres. Wine selection is limited. However, the owners invite you into their tasting room as if it is their own home. It was a personal, friendly, laid back experience! This was my husbands first time at any winery and Mountain Brook set the bar high for him! My husband enjoyed the wines more than I did, however I would be more than happy to come back and enjoy a glass of wine with these wonderful people! I think wines can be a matter of very personal preference so I feel I can not judge on that note. So five stars it is for overall experience!

Mountain Brook is a very nice winery run by Dennis who is a very excited and happy to be here. I could tell by the way he talked to us about the process and at the tasting room when he explained all the wines. The tasting room is upstairs in a quaint room that seats about 8 at the bar. There were 4 tastes on the menu starting with a chardonnay which is aged in a oak barrel for 10 months. this was by far the favorite wine of the group. Next was a rose’ that is traditional European style rose’. It is not sweet like the American rose’. They have a merlot which is aged in oak for about 2 years and has a very smoky flavor. last was a blend wine made from ¹⁄₃ cabernet sauvignon, ¹⁄₃ merlot, ¹⁄₃ petit verdot. This was very robust, awesome flavor. The wines have won some awards in 2013.

Mountain Brook Vineyards is a pretty nice winery. The owner is knowledgeable and friendly. We got a tour and an explanation about the wine-​making process while we were here. This winery has a small selection of wine (around 3 to 4), but the ones they do have are good. The chardonnay is darn amazing. The bottles run about $ 20 a piece, but they are very good wines for that price.
Two downsides — the parking is weird and the lot is small. Also, the wine-​tasting room is upstairs, so it is not easily accessible. However, it is a nice spot to stop if you are visiting other wineries in the area.
