Eno Terra Now Offers Pod Wine Tastings

We have been asked about the return of our walk-around wine tastings. Though we miss the excitement of our grand wine tour events (among about a billion other things pre-covid), we are also acutely aware that social gatherings with large groups of unrelated guests are not ideal at this time. We would, therefore, like to offer the opportunity for you create your own control group (pod) of 8-14 people for a personalized wine tasting.

Here's how it works:
You will taste six wines curated by our wine director along with chef's selection of antipasti.
Minimum group size is 8 and maximum is 14. Event takes place in our upstairs loft area.
Available days: Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting January 18 through March 2, 2022

Times are 4:00pm - 6:00pm
Cost per person starts at $35 (includes gratuity)
Or 6:30pm - 8:30pm Cost per person starts at $45 (includes gratuity)

Place your deposit and we will be in touch regarding the details. All parties are subject to confirmation by our team.

4:00 - 6:00 Reserve

Farewell to Summer Wine Dinner at The Meeting House September 29

We love these dinners and are so happy that you do too.

So please join us Wednesday, September 29th for the first one of the season! For more information and to purchase your tickets visit us here.

5 Local Wineries for Bottles at Your Thanksgiving Table

Thanksgiving is upon us. And we’ve rounded up 5 local wineries to shop from for wine for this year’s Thanksgiving table.

Crossing Vineyards Winery

1853 Wrightstown Road, Washington Crossing PA

Kids usually follow their parents into the family business. But in the case of Crossing Vineyards and Winery, the parents followed their kid. When Tom Carroll Jr. was just 10 years old, he looked out the window of the 200-year-old historic home his parents had purchased on 20 acres in Bucks County, Pa. and said “this would make a great vineyard.”

Some 15 years later, after working as an actor in California and expanding his knowledge in viticulture and enology, Tom Jr. returned home. In 2000 he partnered with his parents, Christine and Tom Carroll Sr., and established Crossing Vineyards and Winery. Crossing’s first vines were planted in April 2002, and after nearly two years of preparation, Tom Jr., became one of Pennsylvania’s youngest vintners at the age of 27.

Their wine would make an excellent addition to your Thanksgiving table. You can order online and pick up curbside OR get it shipped home. Orders of $125 receive 10% off and one of $225+ get 15% off. The winery is also offering free shipping for orders over $125.

While their white list includes Chardonnay, Legacy, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Vidal Blanc, Vintner’s Select White and Viognier; their Red list lists wine varieties like Cabernet Franc, Cabernet-Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Heritage, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Vintner's Select Red. They also have a specialty wine list that includes apple, blush, peach, chocolate cherry truffle and more.

Terhune Orchards

In 2006, Gary and Tannwen planted  five acres of grapes. They planted 12 varieties to see what would grow well in our climate, with the largest amounts in Chamborcin, Vidal Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Traminette.  After four years of loving care, the first crop of grapes were harvested in 2009. By September of 2010, the wine was in the bottle with seven varieties and the Terhune Orchards tasting room was open at the farm’s historic barn. Son-in-law Mike Hanewald and Gary had spent several years perfecting Apple Wine made from Terhune Orchards own apple cider, so that was added to the list of offerings.

The vineyards have been expanded to 9 acres of grapes and 14 varieties of wine, including three fruit wines made from Terhune Orchards’ own apple cider.

Terhune’s current wine list (available to order online and shipped to your home) includes: Apple; Barn Red, Blossom White, Chambourcin, Chardonnay, Cold Soil White, Farmhouse White, Front Porch Breeze, Harvest Blues, Heritage Chardonnay, Just Peachy, Rooster Red, Traminette and Vidal Blanc.

Unionville Winery Steps it Up to Help Workers on the Frontlines of COVID-19

Everyone has their role to play right now. For Unionville, it is to make bottles that bring happiness, bottles that offer respite. Across the region, health care professionals act in a much more perilous role. As virus cases increase, the capacity of our hospitals is being tested, as is the emotional capacity of those on the front lines. We feel compelled to support them. We will donate all profits of Dry Riesling sales through May. Buy it early, buy it often, and we will take every dollar of profit from those sales and use them to buy lunches, coffee breaks- whatever is suggested by the hospital support staffs. They are taking care of our families, our friends, our loved ones. Consider helping us take care of them.

Buy and Help

Our quarantine offers remain in place until the tasting room can reopen. We are offering complimentary delivery on 6 or more bottles, using the code "SHIPNOW" when you order online. We also are offering a 15% discount on case purchases using the code "CASE15."   Buy Now

Mas de Dumas Gassac Wine Dinner @elements October 11

Often referred to as the Grand Cru of the Midi (South of France), the Mas de Daumas Gassac top-tier wines have reached international cult status. Located in the majestic Gassac Valley, the estate benefits from the cool microclimate derived from the Gassac River, several natural springs (from which the Guibert family drinks), and the influence of the nearby mountains. The soil that dominates the valley is a rare and still unexplained red, powder-fine glacial soil, which is strikingly similar to that found in the prime areas of Burgundy. This combination of characteristics is quite unique in Southern France. Join us in welcoming special guest speaker Virgile Rousseau for this incredible evening of good food, wine, and company.

The Peacock Inn Restaurant & Bar Introduces Weekly Wine Tasting Series

Princeton, NJ, January 18, 2018 – The Peacock Inn, the only luxury boutique hotel and fine dining restaurant in the heart of Princeton, is pleased to introduce Wine Wednesdays, a new weekly wine tasting series for 2019. From 4pm to 6pm on Wednesdays, the bar transforms into a vineyard-style tasting room, where the wine-curious can enjoy an educational wine tasting with complimentary fruit, cheese, charcuterie, crackers, and crudités. “Our program is devised to explore wineries and wine regions around the globe,” says Peacock Inn sommelier George Parkinson, who is known for his long-running wine column in the Bucks County Women's Journal.

Winery representatives will be present at the events, pouring wines from their respective vineyards, and discussing wine production, flavor profile, and food pairing. The first event, on Wednesday, January 16, 2019, from 4pm to 6pm, will feature Francis Ford Coppola Winery. At the second event, on Wednesday, January 23, 2019, from 4pm to 6pm, experts from Stonestreet Winery will explain how altitude affects wine production. Additional events in the series will feature Gusbourne, Signorello Estate, Taittinger, and Brewer-Clifton, among others.

Next to a vacation in wine country, a local wine-tasting at The Peacock Inn is the best way to learn your Merlot from your Cabernet Sauvignon. The experience of tasting wine can be low-key and fun, surprisingly illuminating, and, with the right company, a bit romantic. And while everybody knows how to drink wine—sip, swallow, repeat—there is a trick to learning how to truly taste it. (Consider these insider tips: Don’t wear strong perfume, which can affect the taste buds. Do take notes, since a few glasses of wine can make one’s memory hazy.) Reservations are not required for Wine Wednesdays, $24 per person.

The Peacock Inn’s popular fine dining restaurant features an extensive, well-curated wine list and sparkling champagne bar with a Zagat rating of 26 for food, ambiance and service, and received a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence three years in a row. The Peacock Inn Restaurant is open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea.

For details on future wine tastings in this series, please call 609.924.1707 or visit www.peacockinn.com. The Peacock Inn is located at 20 Bayard Lane in Princeton, NJ.

“UNCORK Spring” Wine Festival April 29 & 30 at Mercer County Park

Hun School Puts on "Senior Prom" for Senior Citizens at Brandywine

Hun School students (L to R) Ray Bodnar '20, Lexi Rudek '20, and Ryan Kasper'19 pose with resident Margaret Tagliavia at the prom's photo booth.

Befitting Oscars weekend, The Hun School of Princeton's Community Service Club put on a Hollywood-themed senior prom on Friday, February 24^th at Brandywine Senior Living of Princeton. Hun students pulled out all of the stops to treat their guests to a lavish affair.

More than fifty Hun School students took part in the planning and production of the event. It included a special dinner, classic Hollywood decorations, a photo booth, and performances from The Hun School Jazz Combo and a cappella group. Tables were decorated with pictures from classic movies – from Hitchcock's Rear Window to It's a Wonderful Life.

The Senior Prom is the Community Service Club's newest event. They do many others throughout the year, including a dance for disabled adults (upcoming on April 8), twice-monthly student volunteering at the soup kitchen at Loaves and Fishes in downtown Trenton, twice yearly blood drives, and many smaller events.

"The kids wanted to create a special evening for senior citizens, who may no longer be able to get out very easily," said Hun School history teacher and Director of Service Learning Lynn McNulty. "The officers of the club -- Helena Hemberger, '17, Laura McBryan '18, Emily DeGeorge '18, Ryan Joseph '18, and Julia Revock '18 –  really get things done. They are the backbone of our organization."

At the prom, the residents reminisced about their high school years and expressed gratitude for the event.

"I didn't go to my high school prom; my father was ill and we couldn't afford it," recalled Brandywine resident Carmela Mauro, 89, who grew up in Brooklyn. Though she had seen her daughters off to their proms, she was happy finally to be at one herself. Nearby, Annette Hochstadt, 90, swayed happily to the big band music.

"I love the music, I love the whole thing," said Ms. Hochstadt, a retired teacher from nearby South Brunswick. There were even a prom king and queen – Chester Parkes and Rhoda Kressler— who obligingly posed in their crowns.

Hun student Noah Levinsky '17, a trumpeter in the jazz combo, said the group learned and practiced big-band tunes, such as Frank Sinatra's Falling in Love with Love, for the event. The effort was worth it. "It was a lot of fun seeing everyone's faces light up," he said, smiling himself.

Local Wineries Form The Winemakers Co-Op - Special Event 6/18

Unionville Vineyards is excited to be a part of a newly founded coalition of New Jersey wineries, dedicated to the promotion and production of fine wine in the Garden State. The Winemakers Co-Op is comprised of Unionville, Beneduce Vineyards, Heritage Vineyards, and Working Dog Winery. Since there is no technical definition of "fine wine," one of the first things we had to do when forming was set the standards to which Co-Op wineries will be held. At least 51% of the wines sold by each winery will be from 100% New Jersey-grown vitis vinifera, the classic wine grapes you're most familiar with. These wines, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Riesling, will need to be produced dry or classically off-dry. Wines from hybrid grapes, other fruits, and blends using these will count against the criteria. All tasting events produced by The Winemakers Co-Op will exclusively pour dry wines from the vinifera grapes grown in New Jersey.



Which brings us to our first event of the year, held in a couple weeks right here at Unionville. The Fine Wine Showcase will highlight over 30 bottles from the four Co-Op wineries. Gourmet sandwiches will be sold by Ruth's Chris Steak House, and Mike Dugan, one of NJ's best known Blues guitarists, will perform with his jazz-blues fusion band, Cheek2Cheek. This will be a tasting event unlike any other, with chances to meet and talk wine with the owners and winemakers from the Co-Op. The relaxed walk around wine tasting will use both indoor and outdoor spaces at Unionville, and be limited to just 400 attendees. Early bird tickets are discounted to $29, and are available until midnight tonight. Starting tomorrow, General Admission tickets increase to $35 per person. Plan on a trip to New Hope's trendy new Nektar Wine Bar for small plates and a worldly collection of wine, beer and whiskeys. All attendees will receive a buy one / get one dish offer from Nektar at the Showcase admission tent. If you're coming from a distance, our hotel partner, Main Street Manor in Flemington is a lovely bed and breakfast in Flemington with rooms available for Co-Op guests.

Wine and Cheese Anyone?

We love our wine – red, white, rose, blends, sparkling. New reports show that Americans are drinking more wine than ever.  Surprising? Not to us. Whether you are purchasing a bottle or a case, the only question becomes, where and how is it stored until you are able to enjoy it.

            The trend in kitchen design has been to install an under counter beverage system in your kitchen.  If your kitchen has the space, I highly recommend it.  For those who need more storage capabilities, the Subzero #427, houses plenty of wine, regulates temperatures and has superior presence. Experts say keep your red cool, light reds under (55 degrees), deep reds (59-66 degrees). Rose, Blush and dry whites (46-57degrees), sparkling and Champagne (43-47 degrees) and don’t forget to watch the humidity level and light levels.  On a side note, I once visited a winery on Long Island (who knew there were over 40!) and the owners said, “there are no wrong ways to drink wine. If YOU like your red cold, drink it cold. It’s your wine, drink it how you like it.”

            This spring, I encourage you to look at your wine and storage systems.  I’m creating fabulous niches in the smallest of spaces for wine.  With a Vintageview Wine Storage System, you can create a beautifully organized room with racks to display your carefully purchased selections. It’s a beautiful display in any room in your house. The racks either mount directly to the wall or to the ceiling and floor. They have racks that hold as few as 4 bottles up to 36 bottles. They also have racks that hold magnum bottles for those of us with large family gatherings. Combine multiple racks and make any empty wall your new wine storage.

            Our trend at Blue Lotus is taking that spare space in your home, which is rarely used (maybe it’s your exercise room), and we are transforming it into a wine room- a place to socialize and enjoy your time with family and friends! So, grab your plate of cheese and baguette and begin to appreciate your wine and time in a new space!

Wine Tastings Every Weekend at Terhune's Vineyard & Winery

Terhune Orchards is owned and operated by Pam and Gary Mount and daughter Tannwen Mount.  Pam and Gary Mount started Terhune Orchards in 1975 after buying the home farm of 55 acres in 1975 on Cold Soil Road. In 2003, Terhune Orchards expanded with the purchase of the 67 acre permantly preserved "Johnson Farm" on Van Kirk Road.   These open fields, once cleaned up and rejuvenated, presented lots of possibility for new directions for Terhune Orchards. Daughter Tannwen returned to the family farm full time after 6 years in San Francisco enthusiastic about the idea of a vineyard and winery.  So in 2003, Gary and Tannwen planted  five acres of grapes. We planted 12 varieties to see what would grow well in our climate, with the largest amounts in Chamborcin, Vidal Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.  After four years of loving care, the first crop of grapes were harvested in 2009. By September of 2010, the wine was in the bottle and the Terhune Orchards tasting room was open in our historic barn with seven varieties. Son-in-law Mike Hanewald and Gary had spent several years perfecting Apple Wine made from Terhune Orchards own apple cider, so that was added to the list of offerings.

Terhune Orchard Vineyard and Winery tasting room is in our historic 150 year old barn.  The main barn is a central and important element in the life of a farm. Since 1850, our barn has been home to livestock, hay and storage for wagons. It has been the site of our bakery and cider processing and now has a new role as our winery.

Terhune Orchards is one of the few operating farms in the Garden State with a winery and tasting room. People visiting the tasting room also enjoy Pick-Your-Own and the farmyard activities as well as our farm store full of fresh fruits and vegetables.  Having grown fruits and vegetables for 35years, adding the vineyard to our farm has been exciting and rewarding. Come visit us and look for special events through the season.

Please explore: our wines | articles & media | events | photos

We hope you'll join us for a wine tasting on a weekend afternoon between noon and 5pm.
Bottles are availabe in the farm store daily.

Free Wine Tasting at Princeton Corkscrew March 1, 2013

Come and help us welcome Peter Stolpman from Stolpman Vineyards Friday, March 1st, 2013 5:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Come See What's Below the Surface I hope you can make it to the Corkscrew Friday night to help us welcome Peter Stolpman from Stolpman Vineyards. I always feel that the very best way to get a sense of the incredibly unique nature of the Stolpman wines is to taste them all together. It is in this context that you can really get a feel for the freshness, the aromatic complexity, the serious lift of all Pete Stolpman’s wines. The reasons are simple; their vines are planted on limestone, they farm organically, they pick by hand and most importantly, they do not water the vines (dry farming). Pete, now running the estate with his father, says dry farming is the most important factor in bringing the limestone front and center. By not irrigating the vines, almost unheard of in California but mandatory in most of Europe’s great appellations, Stolpman stresses the vine in its search for water. Roots burrow deeply here, eventually tapping the ground water far below the surface; ground water that is utterly affected by the surrounding limestone. The vines don’t yield much, but what is harvested are tiny berries. This fruit is absolutely packed with intense aromatics and ripe flavors but has an incredibly low pH, allowing for fresh, dynamic wine that has very few equals in California.   For "The Crew" But there is another great story to Stolpman. The wine, La Cuadrilla, is much more than a stylish, elegant blend of Grenache, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Viognier. Each year, the Stolpmans and vineyard manager, Rueben Solorzano, assign one block of vineyard to the full-time farm workers at the estate. Staying within the general principles of the Stolpman farming philosophy, La Cuadrilla or “the crew” make all the farming decisions, from pruning to harvest. In return, the Stolpmans give 100% of the profits back to the workers. Pete says it’s the best motivational tool they could have ever implemented; this piece of ownership breeds loyalty and immense pride in their work. It also fosters great innovation in the vineyard, leading to farming changes the Stolpmans have instilled across their entire estate. It's a win-win, for sure. In a world where Asian importers bu y out American critics (i.e. Robert Parker sold Wine Advocate), big banks own vineyards in Bordeaux, and it’s now possible to invest in mutual funds that invest in commodity wines, it’s a relief that some part of the wine world is still about the land and the people who work it... Stolpman La Cuadrilla   Back to the wine though! La Cuadrilla is wonderfully aromatic, loaded with garrigue-scented dark red berries. The mid-palate is lush, with super fruit, and the finish is long, with very fine tannins. It’s a great choice for anything off the grill, from burgers to slow-cooked BBQ pork shoulder. Fresh and elegant, this is an easy wine to drink, one of the food-friendliest American wines that has crossed my table in a long time. The perfect wine to bring to your next dinner party-- armed with this huge crowd favorite, you'll likely be the most popular guest at the party.
