Ocoee Winery Inc. — Attraction in Cleveland

I drove by while on business and stopped in on my way back through. My wife and I enjoy muscadine wines, from quite a few different wineries from TN, GA, NC & homemade, so I thought that I would purchase a bottle without tasting since I was working. Couldn't wait to get home to chill it and have a glass. WRONG. Tasted and smelled awful, smelled like a piney, citrusy, hoppy IPA beer of which we dont care for. Dumped the whole $13 bottle down the drain after the first sip. We have never had a bottle of sweet TN made wine that we didn't like until now.

To answer your question, if this works because I can't figure out how to respond to your question, it was...

We have driven past this winery multiple times and finally stopped in. The gift shop was fun with decent prices. It all went downhill from there. We were charged $4.50 a person for tiny sips of two wines. One made me grimace it was so sour. Since we would get a credit towards a bottle from the tasting fee we bought a strawberry wine. Should be sweet right? It was undrinkable so we tried cooking with it. Ended up dumping it out. To add insult we were charged for three people tasting and got credit for one. Only two of us tasted. So an expensive mistake!! From now on we will stick with our favorite winery Savannah Oaks. ...

Wasn't sure what I was thinking when I came in this winery. The owner, Steve Hunt, put me in ease after he recognized that I am very deaf and made sure I am comfortable. We connected very well after I learned of his love for motorcycle riding in which he had quite a few fatal accidents in his lifetime. It was an honor to taste his wine samples with ease. I left very impressed and bought one of his wine, Red Muscadine. Bottom line: "Don't judge the book by its cover!" Just stop by, get connected, taste the wines, and know you made your time...
