It used to be that you can only taste their wines by appointment only. Not only did you need to book an appointment but you had to know someone that knew Mr. Parsons himself. I was lucky enough to experience some intense barrel tasting that left my mouth craving more. (Thank you Hunter!!!) I ended up buying a mixed case of some of the most extraordinary wines I had ever tasted. I cannot beigin to describe the sensation that you feel when you take your first sip of their wine. After a little swirl in the glass the bouquet will just arouse your senses. One sip and then you get this amazingly smooth liquid just resonating in your mouth. Automatically you will start talking to yourself spitting out words like.
Balance, Body, Juicy, Fleshy, Jammy , Fruit-Forward, Bold, Meaty, Full-Bodied, Rich, Robust...
You will say these things even if you are not a wine connoisseur and you may surprise yourself and think, "I didn't know I had it in me." Honestly it is that good.
I'm fairly young in a sense that I'd say the majority of people who enjoy wine have been drinking as long as I have been on earth but I used to be in the industry and I've tried wines from all around the world and LOTS of it. So I definitely do know a good wine.
I mean, I think of it like this, everyone has their favorite steak house and you know how your mouth waters up when you think about the restaurant or when you know you will be visiting it shortly. Well that is the feeling I get when I see the word Parsonge.
Mr. Bill Parsons has done a magnificent job creating hand-crafted wines with his family. His wife Ellen has done an extraordinary job decorating the labels with her gorgeous quilts.
All of their wines are amazing and it would be silly not to try one in your lifetime if you truly enjoy good wine.Listed in: Where You Will Find Me, Best Wineries
