Ashland wineries: Quady North & Belle Fiore

While staying in Ashland we visited a couple of wineries that we’ve enjoyed in the past: Quady North & Belle Fiore.

Firstly, Quady North:

They used to have a tasting room in Jacksonville, but recently moved to a building at their winery:

We did a couple of tastings, which included some bonuses, along with a  charcuterie platter for our lunch:

We bought several bottles, plus a box of wine:

Another day, we went to Belle Fiore Winery, another winery we’ve liked:

A somewhat fancier building:

We did the Reserve and Chateau tastings:

I admit it, we mostly go here for their truffle fries; this time since this was our dinner we also got a charcuterie board, though I think we would have preferred just getting a full-sized order of fries (this was the small):

We didn’t buy any bottles from here; after doing the tastings, we decided we didn’t particularly enjoy any of them enough this time. Their wines are too tannic for us.
