It's a drizzly Thursday on vacation, so what do you do? You don't whine about it, you wine it! As luck would have it, I stumbled upon Plagido's Winery and was better for it. A small, family-owned winery, they take pride in everything they do and it shows. Each wine was masterfully poured by owner Candice, who imparted her wine wisdom with each chosen option. Locals (aka The Boys of Summer) stopped in for a glass of their favorite of the month. It's so nice to know that it's not just a stop on a wine tasting map, but also a place where people come to enjoy the wines over and over. I love the familiarity of that.

Read moreHave recently been going to this little Boutique Type Winery. Don't be fooled by the residential surroundings in the neighborhood, once one arrives to Plagido's, that person will realize how extensive the vineyards go back behind the building.
Now, open the door, and step into a Warm Friendly Environment. Clean welcoming area with a wonderful aromatic scent. One may be greeted by Christine, Theresa, Heather, or maybe even the owners - Ollie and Cory. Once greeted, the feeling of FAMILY will enter the mind. Stay awhile and sample some wines; Several are named after family members; some wines like "Earthquake 5.8", have an interesting background story!
Enjoy the wine tasting at Plagido's. Located about 5 minutes from the center of Downtown Hammonton - it is...
