Early September means grape harvest for Leslie and Norm Zimmerman of Zimmerman Vineyards, a family run winery in Trinity, North Carolina. Family and neighbors get together on this day to pick Merlot grapes. There was an overcast and a little rain, which made things a little more comfortable for the pickers. The Merlot wine should be good, because Norm said the sugar content was real high this year. For information on Zimmerman wines, tastings and venue info, go to http://www.zimmermanvineyards.net/#.

Zimmerman Vineyards

Agriculture, Wine

I stopped by Zimmerman Vineyards this past weekend. Norman and Leslie Zimmerman run Randolph County’s first and only winery. They produce a variety of very fine red and white wines on their property near the Uwharrie River. Norman is passionate about his grapes and his wine. You can purchase wine on site and they have a tasting room. For more info, check their website at http://www.zimmermanvineyards.net/.
