They were pretty busy when we got in, though that's not too surprising given it was Mother's Day. They probably should've been a little more prepared for it, as they had an unstaffed, empty overflow table and told us to wait for someone to leave, which they said would only be a minute. A few minutes in, though, as the people currently tasting were being slow, they went and got another person to fill the overflow table - that person was super friendly and helpful... amusingly, I only learned as we were leaving, it was the owner of the winery(!) (guess he wanted to keep it low-key?) Anyway, glad they realized they shouldn't keep us waiting for too long (it was only a couple minutes before they went and grabbed someone).
Anyway, it's $5 to taste 5 specific wines, or $10 to taste any 5 wines off their larger list. Most of the wines I was most interested in were on their $5 tasting anyway, so we did that one. The wines I wrote down notes for include a pretty good off-dry Riesling (not the *best* I've had in the area, but I've had a lot of Riesling now, obviously - it was still quite solid), a *very* tasty rose of pinot noir and reisling(!) (you could definitely taste both of those, such an interesting combination - super smooth, just a tiny bit sweet, with notes of cranberry and cherry, tons of fun), and a blend of pinot, cab franc, noiret and cayuga white(!), which I thought was just good, not amazing, but still, that is a really interesting blend, so I applaud them for going outside the box.
The other weird thing was they charge $5 extra to taste their one port, even though the port isn't even that expensive - I asked, apparently it's because not that many people want to try it (seems like a bit of a vicious cycle there), so they end up having to toss open bottles. I don't know why people wouldn't want to try it, it's completely delicious - one of the better ports I've had. A bit on the light side, but the perfect amount sweet (for a dessert wine, I mean), very smooth, and full of flavor. And I'm happy to say when we said we all (5 of us) wanted to share one taste of the port, he poured it quite generously, at least.
As for the view - the view from the tasting room itself is nothing special, but if it isn't raining (like it was when we were there), the view from the outside *patio* of the tasting is quite beautiful.
