Yes sir, I've made that walk a few times. Old Tennessee has multiple different locations that provide tasting. Note: the different locations don't communicate so you can go back and forth between them for a fun filled staggering good time.
Our last trip down, I bought enough to get a free cooler, one of their promotions that day. Just down the street, there is pretty nice winery, that also offers samples. This worked out well for the wife. So off up into the mountains we went, to the cabin we rented. Cloths off, bottles in hand, into the hot tub on the back deck, which was only about 6' off the ground.
The wife kept hoping to see a bear. Well I'll be damned, her wish came to, WAY too true. You see, the hot tub was off in one corner of the deck, away from the door into the house. This bear used that as a tactical advantage, as she obviously smelled Yankee's simmering in the life size hot pot. Up the post the bear came, trapping us away from the door. I am not sure if she ever saw one before, but we showed her two white bare asses as we freaked out.
She must have thought we needed to cook longer, as she jumped down and walked off with her cubs.
