Can’t say enough nice things about Obsidian and Gwen & Douglas! What a great atmosphere with excellent, friendly service, with fantastic non-traditional wine! A Sonoma wine country must!
Absolutely loved our tasting experience here. Tucked away like a little secret garden, this winery felt peaceful, intimate, and so special from the moment we arrived. Ed was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire experience feel warm, relaxed, and personal. You can genuinely tell he loves what he does, and his passion for the wines and the vineyard shines through in every conversation. We learned so much while also feeling completely welcomed and at ease. Such a beautiful hidden gem — we can’t wait to come back!
Awesome place to stop by and grab a drink. They have plenty of seating available inside and outside. Service was friendly and knowledgeable about their wines. They have a special that one tasting is free if you purchase 2 bottles. They had live music and that was nice.
We stumbled upon this place off a side road and we’re sure glad we did. We already love Obsidian Ridge wines but it was nice to try almost the entire range. Gwen was extremely knowledgeable and hospitable and made the experience truly memorable. Hungarian Oak and fresher style, you can’t go wrong with these unique wines and beautiful tasting room.
The good stuff:
Great little tasting room right on the Sonoma Square, and walk-ins are welcome, which is a gift in this area. The team is genuinely friendly, the kind of people you immediately root for. The Hungarian oak angle is legitimately cool and gives the place some personality. Prices are fair for Sonoma (+/-), and the Boon Fly’s Hill Chardonnay is quietly excellent if you lean white.
Where it slips:
The wines themselves are fine. I’d drink them again, but none of them broke into song for me. Maybe they’re still in their youthful phase. Food is limited to nuts. Totally acceptable, but in Sonoma a little more helps keep the energy going.
Final take:
I wanted this place to unleash full Hungarian greatness. Instead, it offered a polite smile and a nice afternoon. Still worth visiting, easy to like, and absolutely worth popping into if you’re strolling the square, but not quite the full Magyar magic I hoped for.
