Amazing wine!!! And a very wonderful woman who is very sweet and her doggies are also sweet. We came for the first time and the wine was very good. A nice selection of super sweet and sweet fruit wines from apples to elderberry. If you are in bowling green this is a must!

This is on a farm road a bit off the beaten track, and shares it's grounds with one of their other passions - horses (not to mention turkeys, ducks etc). Don't let this deter you! We visit many wineries and can count on the fingers of 1 hand the few that we bought so much from as we did here.
We've traveled from Tn to Pa 5 times this year, usually stopping at a winery or 2 (or 3!) each trip. We tried calling this place when we were in the Bowling Green area at convenient hours (they have tastings only by appointment). We weren't successful at finding them till this last trip

Thought it would be fun to check this plane out while riding country rides on our motorcycle. I have to say I'm not much of a wine connoisseur but Rex mixed magical grapes that had be loving the flavors.
It's a good down home feel snd taste, kinda like a good hillbillies wine!! We enjoyed talking and learning about Reid's while making and not to mention Rex just seems like a good old boy... So I recommend if you're in the area stop by, pull up a stool and have a taste, when you're done buy a few bottles after all Rex has to make a farm payment!! Because of the guard

We just had the BEST afternoon at Reid's! We love the country setting complete with chickens and horses. Rex was so warm and welcoming. Our kids loved playing outside and taking in the scenery. We'll definitely be back!
