This gave Kevin the vision to experiment and grow other grapes besides the typical North Carolina Muscadine grape. When Kevin and I are traveling around North Carolina doing tastings at events we are always amazed at how many people can\u2019t believe that we are making <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockofageswinery.com\/store\/13-dry-red\">dry red<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockofageswinery.com\/store\/14-dry-white\">dry white<\/a> wines from our grapes. For most, their first impression, as they sample the wine is Wow, this is good. Our response is \u201cThank you!, and yes, Rock of Ages Winery is growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Lemberger, Petit Verdot, Touriga, Chardonnay, Chardonel, Petit Manseng, Traminette, and Viognier.\u201d<br \/>\n<a name=\"hours\"><\/a><br \/>\nWe would like for you and your family and friends to come visit our winery.
