Introduction
Learned about Fenestra from Hi-Time Wine Cellars.
Flight 1 - White and Red Tasting (11 Notes)
Tried all the wines available today.
Closing
Fenestra was a house wine for us. Still own my Fenestra Fanatic T-shirt.
Whites were as good as the reds, free tasting, 20% discount on low wine prices for Fenestra Fanatics, lovely picnic area on a hot day, never crowded except their Annual Tasting.
