  • An impressive selection of high quality wines from a winemaker in their 20s, Wilson will your exceed expectations. A trip to Wilson has made me seriously reconsider my life choices. After all, the winemaker, Zachary Wilson, is in his mid-twenties, having started this winery on his parent's small farm on the weekends while attending Penn State (I think we graduated the same year). And yeah, you can see his CrossFit certification on the wall right next to the Penn State diploma in the modest tasting room in the lower level of the family home. It's really not fair. Walking inside that day, we were treated to a personal one on one tour of the art and crafts room (all available for purchase or perusing) and a personalized tasting, complete with our pourer, who I believe was an aunt, who did the tasting with us for "quality control." I love the sense of humor and personal touch, which you rarely receive at larger wineries. And she knew her wines inside and out. Needless to say, customer service was top-notch. You can taste the passion for quality and the support of a family-run business in the selection of wine Wilson produces. For a modest tasting fee of $10, we were able to try 7-8 wines, ranging from very good to spectacular. The highlights of the tasting were the 2014 Riesling, with crisp flavors of grapefruit and pear, the 2014 Oaked Chardonnay, in which I loved that full-bodied rich oak flavor, the 2013 Barbera, a lighter red that still came through with good tannins and pepper on the finish, and the 2012 Merlot Reserve, a complex dark fruit and robust dark chocolate flavor wine. I could've easily purchased every wine on that list, including nearly blind-buying the 2012 Carmine ("Mystery Grape" - the result of a mix up with their grape seed supplier), the winery's first medal winner (I'm sure the first of many). The only drawback with Wilson Vineyard is I live nearly an hour away, otherwise I'd be a regular. Wilson is one of the area's best kept secrets, and it's only a matter of time before the place really takes off in popularity and begins to compete with nearby Galer, Penn's Woods, and yes, even Va La.
