It is a fruity wine known for having high levels of sugar and acid. New York is the best-known region for Vignoles. The wine is also common in the Midwest, Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois.LaCrescent is a German-type wine grape that produces off-dry to sweet wines. Tonight, we are enjoying two white wines including:2022 Madison County Winery Vignoles. This wine was purchased at the winery. It is a dry white, blended with La Crescent. It is unoaked and has subtle notes of tropical fruit and citrus. They call it a medium-bodied wine, very aromatic, with bright acidity. It is 67% Vignoles and 33% LaCrescent. 12.2% alcohol. 2022 Stone Hill Winery Reserve Vignoles. Purchased at the winery for $20.00. The reserve wine selects the best of the grapes and is sur-lie aged to give it a rich full-body. It has aromas of pineapple, stone fruit, honeycomb, baking spice, and candied orange. Pair with salad, seafood, poultry, or pasta with cream sauce. 14.5% alcohol.These wines were very different, but we enjoyed both for different reasons. The Stone Hill was our favorite and received a 4 rating from both of us. The Madison County is more of a summer sipper. Denise gave this wine a 4 and I rated it a 3.Next week we will taste three wines from different Italian regions.
