Douglas Vineyards

Reviewed By TAuser8122020

My wife and I had a few hours without the kids and this is very convenient. It is small but a neat little place. The tastings are $8 and you can add a tray with cheese, pepperoni, crackers and olives for $5. You get to try 6 wines and the categories are about a dozen fruit wines, 3 muscadine wines, a red that is listed by itself, dry wines-a white, Cabernet, Merlot and a Malbec and a white blend and a red blend plus a seasonal wine which was pumpkin spice. Douglas was not there but his wife was fantastic and the young men were as well. They also have wine slushees. The fruit wines are excellent (bought Blackberry) if you like those, the Carlos muscadine (bought) was fantastic and I also bought the Cabernet and Merlot as well. Great experience, phenomenal service (so friendly and after tasting even asked if there were any we wanted to try that we couldn’t). If you are only a high end wine person then maybe not you but for everyone else please visit.

Reed Gold Mine

Reviewed By valvalbishop

Who knew all this interesting info about gold and a gold rush in North Carolina?! The 2 docents working in the visitors center on sat Oct 3, 2020 were great! Very knowledgeable and friendly. We watched the intro film first and then went into the mine. We had a beautiful day so spent quite awhile on the self guided tour of the mine and the property. There is a shaded picnic area to take advantage of as well. The historical artifacts housed in the visitors center are eye opening! Wait till you see those and read about them. I can't imagine where they found all this cool stuff. The mine itself is quite far underground so is cold. The thermometer we saw said 47. Bring a sweater or jacket. Please go if you are at all interested as you won't be sorry. I can't imagine working in a mine for 10 or 12 hours a day. Such hard, hard work.

Gem Theater

Reviewed By johnsG7704NN - Salisbury, United States

The Gem Theatre is a great theatre in downtown Kannapolis that gives you an old school feel while in a giant, newer theatre.

High Branch Brewing Co

Reviewed By Great_Beer_Now - Houston, United States

Small breweries often give it their all. They know that have to excel in order to compete and many of them set lofty goals. Some of them achieve those goals while others meet and exceed them. A good example of the latter is High Branch Brewing. I paid a visit to High Branch Brewing in support of my beer blog, Great Beer Now. It was my final brewery visit/tour of the area but one I knew I had to find the time to visit, given its reputation in the craft community. It is located in historic Gibson Mill on the second level of a building that is occupied by other businesses also. You can enter from the front or the back, but I would bet that most visitors enter from the back and many people who visit are likely drawn here by the fact that it’s right next to another brewery, Cabarrus. High Branch Brewing has indoor seating and a small amount of outdoor seating on a patio. If you bring your dog, you are welcome to use the patio and while there is no kitchen you can sometimes find snacks and there is almost always a food truck within walking distance. High Branch Brewing is a very relaxed place where anyone would feel comfortable but the standout at High Branch is the beer. I loved everything I sampled here, particularly the Double IPA named Is It Hoppy. I was quite impressed by the quality of the beer overall and after chatting it up with the co- owner, I learned that he developed his interest starting with a homebrewing kit he received many years ago. He loved it so much that it led to the opening of High Branch Brewing and we, the beer drinking public, should be ever- grateful. Aiming high is important in the world of craft beer. The competition continues to heat up with each passing week as more and more breweries enter the fold. Cabarrus County has many excellent places for beer and I can say with confidence that High Branch Brewing rates among the very best in terms of beer- not just in the local area, but also in the United States. It’s a must- visit place if you love crafted suds!
