If you've been following you'll know that I have a serious goal to visit every NC winery within 100 miles of our home by my 25th birthday. I feel I need a list to work from. (Gees, me and my lists.)

So yesterday I sat down with a map (I am a geographer, ya know), a list of wineries, Google maps, and a pen and made a list of all the wineries we'll be visiting over the next barely-over-a-year. And here it is. I'll cross them off as I complete a visit.

  1. Allison Oaks Vineyard
  2. Banner Elk Winery
  3. Benny Parsons Rendezvous Ridge
  4. Brandon Hills Vineyard
  5. Brushy Mountain Winery
  6. Buck Shoals Vineyard
  7. Calaboose Cellars
  8. Carolina Heritage Vineyard & Winery
  9. Cellar 4201
  10. Cerminaro Vineyard
  11. Chateau Laurinda
  12. Divine Llama Vineyards
  13. Elkin Creek Vineyard
  14. Flint Hill Vineyards
  15. Garden Gate Vineyards
  16. Germanton Vineyard & Winery
  17. Ginger Creek Vineyards
  18. Grassy Creek Vineyard & Winery

  33. Shadow Springs Vineyard
  34. Shelton Vineyards
  35. Stony Knoll Vineyards
  36. Thistle Meadow Winery

  38. Westbend Vineyards

**EDIT - Ok, I have to be realistic here. I'm not going to visit each and every one of these, so new goal. I will TRY a wine from each and I will do so before we move away, probably in spring of 2012. Now my liver won't shrivel and die quite so quickly.

Cheers!
