"New Worlds of Wine"

Birmingham Weekly made another trip up to the area to taste Persimmon Creek's Cabernet Franc and Seyval Blanc. The columnist describes them with obvious admiration:
"The tannins of the Cabernet Franc could have brewed in the mountains of autumn
leaves that have fallen in the vale. The Seyval Blanc draws its stately minerality from the sandy-soiled, stony hillsides. Along with soft notes of coffee and chocolate, in the Merlot I taste the sweet, dark brown bottomland down by the creekside."
