Alexis Bailly Vineyard

Last weekend I went and visited this winery. I have been there once before and tasted, and I went back again in search of something very special. However, I will get to that in a minute.

Visiting this place is really easy as it is in Hastings just off Hwy 61. Its a nice little trip on a weekend afternoon.

Onto their wines.... in general, I don't really like their wines. They tend to have a sort of nasty aftertaste that I don't like, and the wines lack the body that I look for when I buy.

However... there are two notable exceptions. The Voyageur is a blended red wine that is VERY good. Definitely on the dry side, but it has a deep, full bodied flavor that is really enjoyable. I recommend it very much.

The also have a special reserve CHOCOLATE port right now. That's right, chocolate. And it is goooooooood. It tastes like tootsie rolls in a glass. I love it. Buy some before its too late. Its lovely.
