North Carolina Wine TV Review:
The 2007 Chambourcin on the nose you are bombarded with blackberry jam, plum, and bacon. The nose of this wine is also wrapped in a smokiness and earthy overtones. This wine is full bodied and very dry. The flavors on the nose clearly translate from the nose onto the flavor profile of the wine.
Rating: 
according to the North Carolina Wine Ratings Scale
Price: $18
Availability: Directly from the winery
About Sanders Ridge 2007 Chambourcin (from the winery)
Smokey nose with a lot of fruit – plum, blackberry – and a lovely rich finish that feels good on the tongue and hangs in there a while.
About Sanders Ridge Winery (from the winery):
In the late 90’s, after 40 straight tobacco crops along with corn, soybeans, cattle, and timber, it was becoming ever clearer to Neil that the conventional farming of his day would not offer his 2 sons and daughter and their families – the livelihood that it had afforded him. With the realization that he was going to probably be “it” (the last Shore to farm this special place), he started researching alternative cash crops and implementing a more forward thinking farm plan which he hopes will sustain the land and all of the natural resources it supports (including his children and grand children!) for years to come…
Between 1999 and 2001, he laid the groundwork and established the vineyard for the Sanders Ridge Vineyard and Winery. (View photo diary). In December 2005, he began producing USDA certified organic vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers at the Farm at Sanders Ridge and in June of 2009 he opened the Winery and The Big Woods Restaurant – in a rustic and towering post and beam structure built from lumber and stone he harvested right off the farm.
Neil’s goal has always been to make Sanders Ridge a place where folks can laugh, relax, and experience the farm and the special places within it. He and his family invite you to visit the Winery and The Big Woods Restaurant for a taste of a simpler time and place. And, if you are so inclined, to wander…

Wilco Rules! Childress Vineyards Rules!
Great job on the wine tv! I just stumbled across your site and love it! I am just starting a winery of my own in the great state of Kentucky and watching your show is helping me with ways to market my wine. Anyway, Chambourcin is one of my favorite wines to work with because you can do so many styles with it, and it is so different from your everyday Cabernet! Keep up the good work! cheers!
Stephen,
Thanks for your comment! Good luck on starting your winery. We will have to try one of your wines sometime.
