On Friday, Mr. H and I decided to spend the evening in our neighborhood. This started with a stop out at the newly opened winery in Old Brooklyn,
Vino Veritas Cellars.
I've been a couple of times already, thanks to volunteer meetings with the OBCDC. Bike riding distance and wine involved...of course I'm enjoying volunteering my time with them!
When the weather is nice, you can purchase your wine samples, glasses, or bottles right outside...
...and then head to their outdoor seating area. Cute, but secretly I hope that they add some more comfortable seating options over time. My old butt starts to hurt after a few minutes of perching on a log!
I'm obsessed with the wine corks scattered throughout the gravel.
Since the weather has started to chill, they've now opened up an indoor tasting room and seating inside of a very large greenhouse structure. It'll be open all winter long, but there are plans for a tasting room and production facility to be built on the property in the future.
It was just warm enough that we wanted to still sit outside to soak in the sunset and last hints of summer. There were a handful of tables positioned outside of the greenhouse, and we settled in for a cheese board (
supplied by Old Brooklyn Cheese Co.) and two glasses of wine.
So far, my favorite of the four offered is the
Sicilian Stallion, but we also like the
Chardonnay. The other two are too sweet for my personal taste.
The owner has big plans for this plot of land, and I look forward to seeing it develop. They will also host events, like the pig roast/clam bake
Wine, Land and Sea Bash on October 15th. Mr. H and I will be there!
I mean, come on, does your neighborhood have its own winery? A great, fun addition to the community.
