While its parentage is a mystery, the recent popularity of the Chambourcin
grape is as clear as the sunny mountain valley sky. This adaptable French
hybrid yields large clusters of deep red grapes in the cool mountain
climate, and produces a medium-bodied wine with berry aromas and a rich
purple color.
Accomplices: Barbeque pork, yum.

enough to withstand the cold nights of the mountain valley. Seyval grapes
yield a crisp white wine that pleases both wine drinkers who prefer dry wine
and those who like a sweeter wine.

Hey Mac, you better not be making any hooch when the Revinoor comes knockin'
on your door. But if you are, give 'im some of this wine. Better yet, offer
it up with brunch or dessert. And if that doesn't work, you can always make
a clean sneak out the back.
Accomplices: chocolate and strong cheeses like roquefort, gorgonzola, or a sharp cheddar.

Pssssssst. The wardin runnin' this joint acts like he's settin' on a horse
so high, he could trot right over these here Smoky Mountains. But if you
looked in the top left drawer of that big oak desk, you'd find a bottle of his
favorite vice - this smooth, semi-sweet white wine. I heard he sips it while
he's munchin' on a big bowl of pretzels, feet up on the desk, with the door
shut tight but the windows wide open.
Accomplices: Sip a glass with your favorite salty snack.

Spread your wings... and try something a little different tonight. This
semi-sweet wine is made from sun-ripened blackberries growing wild on the
Jones Farm in Andrews, NC. Try it with ham or pork roast and creamy desserts
like cheesecake and chocolate mousse.
