It’s muscadine season in North Carolina, and we got our fill of this delicious grape over the weekend. On Saturday, we went to Herndon Hills Farm in Durham to pick some muscadines. We ended up with a couple pounds, mostly yellow and green ones. The red variety was still not quite ripe yet, so we’ll probably head back this weekend. I also got some nice pictures of a butterfly feasting away on a fallen grape.

On Sunday, we drove to Salisbury to visit the Old Stone Winery, which we’ve been wanting to do for a few months since getting a taste of their sweet muscadine wine at a relative’s home. We did a wine tasting and sampled nine varieties, and that was just their sweet wines (they also have 10 dry wines). We ended up taking home six bottles. If you like wine and are driving past Salisbury, this place is definitely worth checking out.
