While vacationing in Wildwood, NJ recently, I sought out nearby wine producers and settled on four. I bought three bottles from each.Thanks for taking for the team (actually blend and Vidal sound ok). But Wildwood/Cape May is beautiful, hope you had fun
The following bottles were from Cape May Winery & Vineyard:
2021 Vidal Blanc - Straw yellow in appearance, peach/apple aromas, tangy flavors of peach, lemon and Granny Smith apple, finished dry.
2020 Syrah - Opaque maroon color, red berries and black pepper on the nose, blackberry and plum flavors with a bit of green bell pepper, a touch tannic.
2020 Red blend - Dark plum jam color with an aroma to match, raspberry and plum flavors with tobacco, also a bit tannic. Uncomplicated, a good food wine.
I will put up my next installment whenever I open the next three bottles. Such heavy labor!

I hadn't been to Wildwood since I was in my teens (I'm now 58), so it was pretty much all new to me. Cape May has a state park that offers a leisurely hiking trail, and the people I met at the wineries seemed eager to talk about their produce. Good times.

wineries when vacationing on the Jersey shore (we usually stayed in
Ocean City, a dry town; thankfully Circle Liquors is right across the causeway :)) so thank you for the trip report. You've probably left the
area already, but if not you should check out Crabby's in Mays Landing
if you can.
