The bench style seating inside adds to the family style feel of the winery.\u00a0 Outside on the patio, you&#8217;ll find more Adirondack chairs as well as large shade umbrellas, perfect for the fall sun.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-270 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/index.php\/images\/img_3925-jpg\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3925-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-266\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-266'>\n\t\t\t\tThe main entrance to the tasting room at Medaloni Cellars.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/index.php\/images\/img_3935-jpg\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3935-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-265\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-265'>\n\t\t\t\tA view from the outside of Medaloni Cellars.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/index.php\/images\/img_3928-jpg\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3928-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-268\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-268'>\n\t\t\t\tEvent goers on the patio enjoying the excellent weather in the Adirondack chairs.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/index.php\/images\/img_3927-jpg\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3927-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-267\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-267'>\n\t\t\t\tPeople enjoying some great wine at the Crush Party.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/index.php\/images\/img_3933-jpg\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3933-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-264\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-264'>\n\t\t\t\tFar off from the additional parking lot, Medaloni sits on the top of the hill looking down across the vineyard.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The event was quite enjoyable.\u00a0 The two food trucks offered much-needed food items to a hungry crowd.\u00a0 The live music was pleasing and provided great entertainment for all.\u00a0 Among the wines we had while there were the Angel Oak Chardonnay (a lightly oaked, non-buttery Chardonnay), the Viognier (full of lush tropical notes), and the Dry Riesling (still slightly sweet, but with pleasant acids on the front).\u00a0 Their selections of wine include many grapes grown right in the Yadkin Valley as well as some grapes that they buy from purveyors across the country.\u00a0 Medaloni offers a great place to relax and unwind without making you feel like you&#8217;re being rushed or in the way.\u00a0 It&#8217;s definitely worth a visit and we&#8217;re excited to see what the future brings them.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Check out our other NC Wine Month postings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[su_posts template=&#8221;templates\/teaser-loop.php&#8221;
