Our Wine and Chocolates Tasting at Altamont Vineyard & Winery

Eric purchased a Groupon for a wine and chocolate tasting at Altamont Vineyard and Winery.  

He drives the northwestern

corner of Guilderland for our

tasting appointment.

Elephants greet visitors
& guard the grapevines.

Visitors enjoy the view

from the pergola on

warm days.

This area is tented &
used for large events.

Eric & I head to the

tasting room.

Visitors sample wines 

at tables & the bar.

The bar 

I like the Altamont Vineyard
& Winery logo made
with corks.







Dana tells us that Altamont Vineyard &Winery also sells its wines at the Troy Waterfront Farmers' Market and Schenectady Greenmarket.   The next time Eric goes to Schenectady Greenmarket, he'll be looking for wine and Josephine's Whole Grain Breads.

The Daily Gazette's article on the

Altamont Vineyard & Winery

 dated June 30, 2009.

Eric & I sampled wines
while enjoying Dana's
homemade chocolates
with crackers & fruit.

Dana's chocolates are
amazing!





Our favorite wine is the fruity Providenza with a hint of pepper. So, what did we purchase?

After much discussion, Eric &

I chose the St. Pepin Ice Wine.

This super sweet, concentrated wine will be saved for a special occasion.
