"Along the Coast to the Winery!" Milford by KiKitC

Milford Travel Guide: 18 reviews and 22 photos

Ironically, while recovering from the accident, I watched an awful lot of cooking shows, and now my husband's been overheard bragging about his wife's cooking...

Before the accident, a bottle of wine would last years in our house. Now, I've been cooking with it and enjoying it with dinner. We had stopped at a liquor store on 206 on our way down to the pines, and picked up a bottle of NJ wine from Alba Vineyards. I was simply impressed with one of their wines, that I was compelled to drag my husband (and credit cards) northwest to the winery. We chose a route that followed the river, offering beautiful views.

Alba Vineyards deserves its awards and accolades it seems. Terrific job with descriptions of all their wines. We love wine; my husband drinks the reds, and I drink the whites!

Alba is an interesting name for wine = also the old name for my home country = you must have been clinking home after buying this amount of wine but it does sound tempting

I also cook with wine - and sometimes I even add it to the food!

How interesting. Lovely to read your wine reviews and I particularly loved that chicken recipe with the Chamourcin. Thanks...

Hmmm. When I was in Milford (actually it was New Milford - are these different), with my baby daughter in tow, all I saw was a zoo. LOL
