When John Benjamin Shore first farmed the original 800 acres of this land near Booneville, NC in 1847, it's a good bet that he never imagined what Sanders Ridge would become. The land has been in the Shore family for more than 163 years. Owner Neil Shore (John Benjamin's great great grandson) is the fifth generation of Shore farmers to work this land, and has taken steps to make sure he's not the last one.Monday, April 19, 2010

Misty Creek Vineyards
As April began, we happened upon Misty Creek Vineyards while traveling the magnificent rolling byways of Davie County. This fine establishment is the labor of love of the Nichols family, all of whom we had the pleasure to meet and spend a bit of time with one day last week. The Winery is new to the area. It's just wrapping up its first birthday and is part of both the Yadkin Valley and the Shallow Ford Wine Trail.
