Lamb and Wine – a Great Combo
SPRING: Watts Roost is gearing up for the wine festival season. Our first one is a favorite. Dr. Daniel (host with the most) opens his vineyard to the best of West Virginia wineries. Frank and I enjoy the easy way, delicious food, swinging music and, especially, greeting returning customers and meeting new ones. Come see us and others on Saturday, June 21 at Daniel Vineyards in Crab Orchard WV.
COTSWOLD SHEEP PROJECT – IT CONTINUES and GROWS: Several years ago my husband bought some Cotswold Sheep. They are a rare and ancient breed brought by Romans at the time of Christ to England. These sheep gravitated to the Cotswold Hills in Wales and southwest England as they were the only breed to thrive in these harsh conditions. Greenbrier Cotswold is growing a flock of pure Cotswolds. At this time there are both pure Cotswold lamb and partial Cotswold lamb for sale. Ground lamb, chops and, my favorite, leg steaks are available. Call for prices. In addition, there is yarn (oh so soft) and pelts (makes a beautiful room accent) available.
WINE SPECIAL: Sweet Lucie and Elderberry is on sale. Three bottles for $20. That’s a great deal!
NEW WINES: Just as there are trends in fashion and colors, there are trends in wine preferences. Frank and I are seeing an increased call for very sweet wines i.e. Moscato. While we cannot grow that grape we can sweeten our wines to that degree. Thus, Sweet Charlotte, Sweet Lucie and Blueberry and Elderberry have been sweetened to meet the demand for sweet wines. Local fruit was used in the making of Peach and Pear wines. They are semi-sweet and delightful to drink with fruit and cheese.

The tasting room has available several gift items…insulated wine bags in lovely prints made by my sister in Utah, useful kitchen towels, cocktail napkins, magnets and coasters. The wine crackers we serve are also for sale.
