Brian & Mary Ann Guinn enjoyed a wine tasting at Elkin Creek Vineyard in 2013.It’s that time of year again, when the Surry Wineries host the Winter Wine Passport. It is a great opportunity for wine enthusiasts to visit several wineries in Yadkin Valley, to sample old and new vintages. Brian and I have attended this event since it was “Deck the Halls”. Our picture was taken a few years ago, and we became the poster couple for the event.
