There is an excellent wine bar near where I live, and their wine tastings are great.

The traminette, reisling, and a spicey sangria (with lots of cut citrus in it) are my summer favorites. Sat in the wine tasting garden of Heinemans winery on PutinBay just this past summer and polished off a bottle of traminette, which was new to me. Very floral, but I liked it. Winter wines I'm partial to a petite sirach, shiraz, and any cab.

My mom and step-dad make their own wines. They haven't bottled any from this year yet, but they have carboys of reisling, delaware, pink catawba, table red (medium bodied), pear, and concord. Hopefully they'll bottle sometime soon.
