charis winery

We visited this winery after a trip on the WMSR. The wines were offbeat but interesting -- most are off-dry or sweet, and many are infused with spices or essence of non-grape fruits. So if you are looking for a classic bordeaux-style wine, this might not be the place for you. But it is certainly worth a stop if you are in downtown Cumberland. We gave it an extra star for the friendly nature and entertaining banter from the owner/pourer, who knows the wines well and is a real character.
