Not a drinker or ever liked wine at all. Decided to try this one and it is fantastic! Will be getting more!

The first sip takes me back to my childhood when I picked and ate grapes right from the vine

This was my first time trying this particular wine. I love the taste and I love the product. It’s probably one of the best tasting wines I’ve had in a while.

Back in the late 50's my grandparents in Franklin country Virginia had a small area that they grew purple grapes. I would pick and eat some on occasion in the summer. This wine immediately brings back the taste of those grapes

Tried this at a night stay in Wytheville. One of the best whites I have tasted in a very long time!

We went to Virginia Tech and visited the winery several times while at school. Bought some red and this white wine at our wedding 9 years ago. Opened up our last one tonight, it still taste as fresh as we remembered. Thank you for producing such wonderful wine.

Wonderfully smooth. The hint of Niagara seems like a grape forms in your mouth! A sweet wine perfect any time: before, during and after a meal.

I bought this at a local Kroger, I was not impressed. It says it’s sweet, but no, butter and leaves a terrible after taste. Not good.

A friend from southwest Virginia gifted me with this, and I love it! Wines made with the native grape varieties often don’t get much respect, but for someone born in the south, this instantly brings back childhood memories of picking muscadines.

The best sweet wine I've ever tasted! The first sip i was immediately brought back to my childhood when i would eat grapes right from the vine from my grandma's grape vines!

Was given as a gift. Had it unopened for a little less than a year. Properly stored. Not sweet at all. Terribly bitter, and makes my taste buds tingle in all the wrong ways. Sadly, a great disappointment.

Note to Star. Something happened with that bottle. IDK what but something did. I've bought cases of Sweet as well as Red Mountain Laural and other wines, both from the Winery and as well at grocery stores and have never, understand never, had a bad bottle, even among those several years old. JS. I love it!!

I love a sweet wine and THIS one is my all time favorite!!! Goes great with a charcuterie board and a few close close friends.

This is my favorite wine I have tried. It is always my go to. The fact that it is sold in Kroger and Target is all the better!

Sweet Mountain Laurel is hands down my absolute favorite wine ! It is all I ever buy ! It automatically , from the first sip , takes me back to my childhood and tasting the nectar from the Honeysucle flower . If you never tasted this from the flower , dont despair , you can buy Sweet Mountain Laurel and find out for yourself what it tasted like ! I love it ! Great job Chateaus Morissette ! Keep up the good work !

Loved this sweet wine. Have been drinking it for several years. But it tasted different the last few months. Noticed the foil over the cork changed from white to green. Not sure what that indicates.
