glorie farm winery

Stopped by Glorie Farm as part of a self-created tasting tour of the area on a Saturday afternoon. The winery was not busy and we tried some good wines. The tasting was $5 per person and included a glass.

We showed up on a tuesday, our rest day from climbing, and it was not open even though the wine tour people told us it was. The owner came out and agreed to give us a tasting anyways. The wine was good and the view was also nice.

I had the Pumpkin wine at a local restaurant, and loved it ! It was light, refreshing and tasty. We drove out to the winery two times to try to visit and puchase some, but, each time it was not open. I will persevere !

Another winery on the Shawungunk wine trail which is becoming one of our favorites. They make some truly excellent reds. This winery is located atop Mt. Zion up a steep, winding road. The trip is worthy it. A modern tasting room is open and is still being worked on, but the tasting experience remains excellent. We took home a case. We will be back next year.

after driving up beautiful winding roads, we arrived at glorie at..gasp....closing time! but no worries; the owner graciously locked the door behind us and gave us a 45 min private tasting! a superb selection of whites and nice reds as well. a unique blending of grapes AND fruit from their orchards across the way. the jumpin jazz was my fave and there's also a great riesling. buy a case and your club member with 20% off future buys. cheers!
