I went to Breaux Vineyards with a friend on Sunday. Breaux is located in Hillsboro and, as the name of the town would suggest, is surrounded by hills...making for great views:
The $5 tasting fee allowed us to sample 10 of their wines, 7 whites and 3 reads. Highlights of the tasting:
2004 Alexis: Late harvest Vidal Blanc, makes a great ice-style wine. Very smooth, excellent aromas and it was a good wine for sitting outside enjoying the afternoon.
2001 Layfayette: A blended red made up of 75% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot. This is a spicy wine with good body and a peppery taste. Soft tannins with a good finish.
2002 Cabernet Sauvignon: This wine had just been released the day before. They describe it as earthy, which is very appropriate, it had hints of tobacco and coffee. Full-bodied and still young, but a good wine.

Hello Alan,
Did you try the Nebbiolo there? Just curious to find out what you thought if you did.
Nice reviews : )
Happy Sipping!

Thanks Dezel -- No, I am afraid we did not try the reserve tasting. But, the Nebbiolo looks very interesting. Have you tried it?
