I wanted to take the time to express my thanks for all of your wonderful suggestions. This time my question was about good local winery recommendations, and your responses were exactly as I hoped. I really appreciate all of you taking the time to respond, and all of your great suggestions.

The closest is La Casa Narcissi on 910. Go up route 8 and TR on 910 by post office and eckerd. It is on the right side about 4- 5 miles out. Red Tile roof. Best place to eat up route 8 is Pines tavern. Go back to Route 8 and continue north to the North star market which is on the right. They can direct you to pines tavern. They own both.
