Tried three new varietals: Norton, Blanc du Bois, and Lenoir (Spanish Black). All wines from Georgia (state) Anyone else had them?


I was at a place called Uncorked on Main in Villa Rica, GA, and I had a great time tasting 7 local wines for 9 bucks. The owners have their own winery, but they sell other local wines and promote local artwork as well in their shop. Nice fellas.


The Norton wines were hit or miss, but the hits were home runs, particularly one called Hellbender Red from a winery called Crane Creek. I would put it up against plenty of Cali wines, especially in terms of structure. Very pleasant surprise.


I didn't make any notes on the Blanc du Bois, but I remember being impressed. The Lenoir was sweet for me, but I know a lot of people who would love it.
