Since being founded just a few years ago, Arsenal Cider House has grown from a collection of just a few ciders and honey mead to an impressive array of flavored ciders and wines with sour cherry and blueberry being some of our favorites. Pittsburgh Winery is located at 2815 Penn Avenue in the Strip District.Īrsenal Cider House in Multiple LocationsĪs their name suggests, Arsenal Cider House in Lawrenceville is all about cider- the delicious beverage that comes as the result of fermenting apples. Naturally, we're planning on leaving with a bottle after every visit.
Tasting trays at Pittsburgh Winery are roughly $10 however, there is no fee if you purchase a bottle (~$18 on up). In fact, the wine is so good that they would hold up to competitors who produce wine in the grape's point of origin- a feat that is hard enough for any winemaker, let alone one thousands of miles from where the grape was grown. Luckily all doubts were removed the second we tried a sampler of the wines that were currently available- they all were delicious. Something about this concept didn't sit well with us as we never had good experiences at wineries that don't grow their own grapes. Our first thought of Pittsburgh Winery was that they were going to be much like this however, our thoughts soon changed (for the worse) when we found out they import their grapes from the major wine regions from around the world. While delicious in their own right, these grapes are not going to be put Pennsylvania winemakers on the map any time soon. Often, the best wines to come out of this region are sweet wines made from sugar-rich grapes like Concord or Niagara. This is a feat unduplicated by any Oregon winery.Wine in the region is interesting as the weather patterns and soil quality allows for only select grapes to grow.
