Our third winery stop of the evening was at The Hatch. They’re known for having eclectic wines.
Hours.
Front entrance.
We dropped in on a Thursday evening (around 6:00pm).
Sign.
Merchandise table.
Service is friendly, young and enthusiastic. Liked how our hostess adapted and curated our tasting based on specific preferences.
A couple closeup of their bottles and wine club exclusives.
Tasting fee is $10.00/person and includes 5 pours. We were given a couple extra pours. Fee is waived with a purchase of a bottle.
2020 Sweet P
This is a blend of pinot gris, pinot blanc and pinot auxxoris. Didn’t love this one. The end note had a strange, biter taste.
2020 B. Secco
Their version of a bubbly made from a blend of a couple different grapes. End note again wasn’t enjoyable.
2020 Müller-Thurgau
Subtle and not sweet. This was our favourite of the bunch.
2020 Orange
Another German grape (Kerner). We got a hint of a buttery note. This one was interesting.
2018 Gamay
This one was smooth and a touch smokey. A touch of tannen at the end but overall enjoyable.
2017 50 Shades of J
This was a bordeaux style. Full bodied, black pepper on the nose.
2020 Pinot gris – we bought a bottle ($19.99).
None of The Hatch’s wines stood out to us but they do bring something different to the table.
