Very nice afternoon at Heath Sparkling Wines! We stopped in for the bubbles tasting on our way hour from a New Year’s week in Fredericksburg. It’s a beautiful setting, relatively new and all shiny! We were a walk-in (no reservation), but they were able to accommodate us within about 15 minutes. We were paired with another group for the tasting, which was nice got get more diverse reactions and comments on the bubbles.
Our presenter, Kathy, did a great job. Very personable, very knowledgeable about the wines AND the bubbles production process. Heath has invested in its own “secondary fermentation in the bottle” equipment to now do that on site (instead of shipping their wines to CA for that process), and their automated system to riddle the wine in 4-5 days instead of 18 months! Impressive! We enjoyed all the bubbles, and decided to pick up a few bottles as well as join the wine club. Looking forward to our next visit to Heath!
