My new hangout

Friends, I have completely fallen in love with my little town of Montgomery, and now there is even more reason to be in love! Cork This Winery is a small hometown winery on the corner of 149 and Hwy. 105 that my friend Jen introduced me to. It has been open for almost a year now, and I can't believe that I never ventured in until two weeks ago. It is the cutest place!! It's owners, Fawn and Karla are just the sweetest ladies and they have done themselves proud with this awesome little niche. They sell wine, of course...by the the bottle and the glass. While cozying up to the bar, they will bring out cheese and crackers and treat you to tastings of anything on the menu (3 per customer). There is great chit-chat and a quick lesson in wine-making techniques and grapes they use, how they got started, how life in a winery has been treating them. But the wine...OMG, the wine. I could talk for days about the lovely Sisters Who Sip (a blueberry Pinot Noir that had been sold out since Christmas but is now back in stock), or the Summer Sipper (a surprisingly light peach apricot Chardonney blend). I purchased both on my two separate visits to the winery. Probably the biggest surprise was the Girls Night Out (a green apple Reisling that is so crisp and clean and I can totally picture bottles of this by the pool this summer!) and if you normally turn your nose up at Reisling because it is too sweet...don't be to quick to judge, you really must taste it for yourself.

Treat yourself and your favorite BFF to a trip to Cork This Winery and see for yourself. A great place to spend a Saturday afternoon shopping for wine accessories (they have a great selection) and sipping some great wine. You will go back time and again, and probably take at least a bottle home each time (or maybe 3).
