Our Wine Tasting Expert Says:
To try a wine in the oldest wine country in the U.S., go to San Sebastian Winery, in historic St. Augustine. The winery has vineyards all over Florida and the southwest, but the primary one is located on 77 acres in Clermont, farther south. The vintners produce a number of excellent wines from hybrid vines such as Stover, Blanc Du Bois, Suwannee, and the Mississippi hybrid Miss Blanc. Their Castillo Red, a dry wine, is light on tannins and a bit spicy, with a hint of oak. There are a lot of attractions at the winery, like a jazz and wine bar on weekend nights, plus a spacious banquet room to taste the wines, which is open every day. Best of all, the winery is located right in the middle of St. Augustine, a stone's throw from the Historic District.
