***I had no idea such witchcraft existed, but the world is a better place with Granny Z's Hard Iced Tea in it. Believe it or not, but this is actually a white wine flavored with tea. Local PA wine for the win. I see that the winery also has varieties including a mint wine, so I will be adding this winery to my bucket list for sure. I have never seen this at any PA Wine & Spirits store, but I bought two bottles at Wegmans (grocery store) in June of 2018. This was the only variety they carried, but if the others are good as the hard iced tea, I'm in for a treat.

Very sweet and literally tastes like sweetened iced tea. Very refreshing and perfect for hot summer days on the deck. It is easy to forget that this is a wine! Wish I could get this out here in the Burgh, but I guess good things come to those who wait! — 8 years ago

Thanks to Southern Wine & Spirits for unloading all their good stuff at absurdly low prices. $30 for this - seriously!?!? Beautiful. Not all that different from the '07 Bancroft Cab from last weekend. You could have told me this was a cab and I wouldn't have questioned it. No decline here. Great fruit. Elegant, but not light. A little floral. Mellow tannins. Brighter than the cab. Wow. $30! That's silly. Bought 6, but should have stuffed the trunk with more. — 10 years ago

Deep, dark, dense, inky purple with a core as dark as the devil's heart! Notes of blackberries, blueberries, bay Laurel and cinnamon on the nose. Expressive and powerful, deeply extracted ripe fruit, balanced acidity and a flinty, mineral laden finish with a touch of smoke. Spellbinding!!! — 8 years ago

Santa Cruz mountain gin of balance and deliciousness. A list of organic herbs make this gin a top pick. Visit the distillery if you find yourself out West. — 10 years ago

One of my favorite spirits of all time. Extremely herbaceous with rosemary, other herbs, and (I swear) fresh mountain air — 8 years ago

We buy a case of this every time we are in Yadkin Valley. Easy to drink. No sharp edges. Soft enough to drink alone, bold enough to pair with hearty dishes. — 9 years ago

1986 vintage. Distinctive cabernet flavor that reminded me of California mountain cabs from the '80s--Laurel Glen and Mayacamas. Nice, but not as good as previous bottles (and not as good as Laurel Glen and Mayacamas). — 10 years ago

Perfect bottle in cork and fill. From laurel glen and Steiner vineyards on Sonoma mountain. Old school, room-filling perfume of iron, lifted red fruit, laurel bay, pink peppercorn and sweet pipe tobacco. A real beauty drinking at its peak. — 11 years ago
