The numbers all go to 11: August 7, 2011

Our visit to the Glacial Till tasting room in Ashland was probably our shortest stop. Since we had already sampled all the wines that we wanted to, we made this stop just to try out their newest vintage, Zephyr. The lady who was working there was helping another couple so she suggested Jessi and I check out the art gallery upstairs. There were some really awesome pieces by local artists on display. By the time we were done looking around, the other couple had left so we had the place to ourselves. We just got a glass and claimed a table to enjoy the wine (which was very good, by the way).

Since the place was empty, we struck up conversation with the lady working who was a close friend of the Murmans (the owners of Glacial Till). We told her about our trip out to the vineyard back in May and she shared some stories that she had of the vineyard. She then started a slide show that she had full of photos of the vineyard, renovations at the Ashland tasting room, and the Murman’s trip to wineries around the world.

While it was a different atmosphere than the vineyard, I’m glad we made the trip to the Ashland location. We got to try their new wine and learn more about one of our favorite vineyards.
