National Road Wine Collection

bar.jpg (34238 bytes)

This series of wines from the Christian W. Klay Winery in Chalk Hill, Pennsylvania is named for historic sites along America's first turnpike. Originally, the road was little more than an Indian trail through the wilderness. By 1802, however, the need for a safe passage to the west compelled Congress to fund the building of the National Road. It began in Cumberland, Maryland and ultimately reached Vandalia, Illinois.

Nemacolin Castle
This wine is semi-dry and brilliant in clarity with a hint of violets in its aroma. It compliments both fish and chicken, strawberries and cheese.

Washington Tavern White
(Silver Medal Winner at the 30th annual American Wine Society Competition)

In the tradition of its namesake, this wine offers warm hospitality, a friendly taste of tropical fruit and a brilliant clarity. A semi-dry wine, it is a delightful companion to dishes of chicken, fish, cheese and fresh fruit.

The Christian W. Klay Winery was recently featured on the cover of Wine East Magazine.

Fort Necessity
This diamond-brilliant, buttery, dry wine is ideal to serve with dishes of fish, chicken, apples and all cheeses.

Award:

  • 1999 Silver Medal Winner at the Pennsylvania Wine Association Commerical Competition.

Blanc de Lafayette
Light-bodied and dry, this wine leaves a pleasant hint of grapefruit. This is a genial wine served with chicken, cheeses and with such delicate fruit as strawberries.

Searight's Tollhouse
Try this wicker-basket picnic wine. It is semi-sweet and is perfect with sandwiches, cheese and apples served on a checkered cloth in a summer field. Or bring it inside to drink with fish and chicken.

Chestnut Ridge Sunset
This delicate, semi-sweet crimson blush with a hint of cherry aroma compliments a wide variety of fare.

Jumonville Glen Road
This medium bodied dry red, soft and round in texture with a black cherry aroma, goes well with lamb, game and
beef.

Washington Tavern Red
This fruity light bodied semi-dry red goes especially well with pasta dishes.

Awards:

  • 1997 Consensus Gold Medal Winner at the Indiana State Fair International Competition
  • 1998 Gold & Silver Medal Winner at the Indiana State Fair International Competition
