The "F'ing Winery Tour"
Now what were you thinking? That I had a bad winery visit? Actually, the "F'ing Winery Tour" was an event that took place over two weekends in April. In this case the "F" stands for Flat Rock Cellars, Fielding Estate Winery and Featherstone Estate Winery.
For the price of a $10 passport you could visit the three F'ing wineries and have a sampling of two wines with a Flatbread food pairing. Featherstone Estate Winery in Vineland was serving their 2009 Black Sheep Riesling ($16.95) and my personal favourite the 2008 Red Tail Merlot ($19.95). The flatbread pairing: prosciutto and roasted red peppers.
At Fielding Estate Winery in Beamsville, we were treated to their 2008 Sauvignon Blanc ($17.95) and the 2008 Red Conception ($18.95). The flatbread pairing: goat cheese and caramelized onion.
Flat Rock Cellars in Jordan was serving their 2007 Chardonnay ($16.95) and the 2008 Pinot Noir ($19.95). The flatbread pairing: field mushrooms cooked with garlic, onion and the 2007 Chardonnay topped with a thin shaving of Asiago cheese. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon - visiting three unique wineries, having some Fine wines with some interesting Flatbread pairings. We're all looking forward to next year's "F'ing Winery Tour"!
