Right now tasting fees are waived at least on Fridays because of a wine road event. What a deal!! Otherwise just $20 per person and waived with 2 bottle purchase according to the tasting menu.

I can’t rate this winery high enough for an overall experience. It sits on a hill with a perfect view (ignoring the freeway). We had an younger gentleman with an English accent that went out of his way to make this a personal experience. He took us into the vines area and talked about the old vines and how they prune them.

Regarding the wines, our favorites were the Left Bank Cuvee, a cab and malbec blend, the Rose, the Old Vine Zin, the Merlot, and the almighty Petite Sirah. What a variety right? These are on par with any snobbish Napa wines at a much more approachable price point.

The winery is further out. Grab food and enjoy the ride. We stayed at this winery for over 1.5 hours and I could have stayed all day. Most times we’re in and out as quickly as possible to get to as many wineries as possible but there is something special about this place. It feels like a home you never knew you needed. You won’t regret a visit!

Ask for Tillie (?). She’s the winery’s dog. So cute!!

Oh my god, GO HERE. The tasting is an amazing experience with great wine, unparalleled scenery, and friendly knowledgeable staff.

The worst part about my visit here was trying to limit myself to what wines I wanted to take home (you can only fit so many bottles in your suitcase).

Between sipping delicious wines while looking out over the vineyard and touring the cave, Ozzy, Jay, and Jim all shared tidbits about the history of the vineyard, and wine in general, that kept me on the edge of my seat – I learned a lot!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful this winery is and how positive my entire experience was. I’d love to spend a day (or ten) here just drinking wine open to close.
