So let me start over… I threw the whole family in the car to head out to the second farthest winery – by one minute – in the state out in Sherman. I can’t tell you how many times I semi-planned to make it out here over the years… suffice it to say that number is pretty high. I don’t know why, but I had built this place up in my head as being a special place over the years. Sure, I have an affinity of our lesser-known towns like Sherman, but that’s about it. Our family visit would be during their “Raspberry Festival” which, again for inexplicable reasons, got us way more excited than it should have. We will be serving 6 small plates of food and desserts prepared with our farm grown raspberries. Raspberry S’mores, Brie Quesadillas with Jalapeno Rasberry Sauce, Raspberry Sorbet with Raspberry Scones, Grilled Chicken with Raspberries, Mixed Greens Raspberry Salad, and Raspberry Crisp are scheduled. Live music, free farm museum, winery and field tours throughout the day. Sounds exciting! And a farm museum to boot!Īny excitement was quashed as we entered the tasting room. Don’t get me wrong: the farm and the winery itself are absolutely beautiful. The rolling hills along the border with New York are always pretty, especially so in the fall. But the “Raspberry Festival” consisted of a kid at a table in the back selling a few overpriced food items containing raspberries from the While Silo Farm.
