Childress Vineyards one of America’s Top 25 tasting rooms

Wine Enthusiast has voted Childress Vineyards as one of America’s Top 25 Tasting Rooms! They were the only winery selected in the state of North Carolina. The May issue of the magazine features a photo of the Tasting Room and describes them as follows:

Those who think NASCAR and world-class wine don’t pair well haven’t been to Childress Vineyards and the speedily improving Yadkin Valley. Founded by NASCAR team owner Richard Childress in 2004, the winery and tasting room have quickly become a stand-alone destination in the Yadkin Valley American Viticultural Area. Go for the Signature Tasting to reveal winemaker Mark Friszolowski’s best work to date. The Reserve Syrah and the Signature Meritage are both sublime, as is the setting – a stone and stucco building, terra-cotta style roof and large tasting room, shop and The Bistro restaurant, all reminiscent of Tuscany.
