This wasn’t exactly our best culinary vacation. Though I can’t complain about getting my fill of seafood.
I had lobster, crab and clam chowder every chance I could get.
Otherwise, our meals were pretty so so.
We did get a chance to visit a winery. There are two in Cape May. Both advertise daily tastings. But when we drove to the first, no one appeared to be at home, so we moved along to Cape May Winery. The winery imports most of its grapes. But we’re told the apples from its sweet Isaac Smith Apple are local to New Jersey.
We left with three other bottles, including a very refreshing “off dry” Riesling. It has a pleasant citrus aroma and I could really taste the grapefruit, a new one for me in a Riesling.
Sim and I both enjoyed the smooth, dry, but flavorful Cabernet and Syrah, so those made it home with us too.
I’m pretty sure the apples were the only local ingredients in our purchases. I was close to picking the winery’s Albarino, which is grown in New Jersey. But the fruity Riesling won me over.
