The Briar Rose cat took a liking to me during my visit.
I purchased a 24' Briar Rose Estate Viognier. This is a wine I highly recommend trying. Note: the bottle I purchased was early, so a 2023 label was placed on it.
This tree was originally on the Callaway property. It was given to Briar Rose after Callway did renovations some time ago.
Briar Rose gives 3 options for tastings. I did the Mixed Wine Tasting, which is my custom.
Briar Rose is a visually stunning winery with alot of good wines to explore.
If you are a viognier fan, do not pass up on trying the 24' Viognier.
