Passport – CT Wine Trail

This page contains the chronological collection of links to the posts of Sophie and Cecelia’s adventures tasting their way through Connecticut wineries.

Bear in mind as you read these posts that neither of us is a professional wine taster and are learning the  terminology on the fly. Please don’t think less of a wine because we describe it as yummy instead of using some eloquent vocabulary.

The setup: Passport to Connecticut Farm Wineries
How it works: In a nutshell, visit 14 of the 20-some-odd Connecticut wineries, get your Passport stamped at each one, submit the Passport to enter the contest.

That’s 14!

An interesting discovery: many of these wines taste different later, once you get them home and out of the close proximity of the other wines at the tasting. I reserve the right to update some of my original posts with my new taste-feelings about particular wines.
