Somerset Ridge Buffalo Red

Somerset Ridge Vineyard and Winery
After three months of dating, I decided it was time for the Scotch Man to meet the family. Dun dun dun! We chose Easter weekend, since both he and I had vacation the following week.

This bottle was a gift from my sister for Christmas, and she made me promise not to try it without her, so it seemed like the perfect weekend to open it up.

We drank this bottle with Easter dinner. It is definitely a dessert wine - it was very sweet. Maybe even too sweet for me! I was so full of good food that I didn't have enough room to finish my wine. Everyone else seemed to enjoy it, so for that I'm glad.

Everyone else also seemed to like the Scotch Man, too, which I am also very glad about.

The bottle for this wine was neat - Kansas and buffalo seem to go hand and hand - and I always like to try local wines. Somerset Ridge Vineyard and Winery is a decent drive from town, so I've never been, but I'd like to go do a wine tasting there someday. Ever since my day picking grapes at Davenport, I've been crazy about local vineyards. I'd like to tour them all. It might be fun to put together a Kansas wine tour.
