A friend of mine needed to do a pickup in Rutherford. Since we typically try to do more than one tasting per trip, we figured why not try Chateau Buena Vista?! I'm a member of Buena, so I get 4 complimentary tastings per visit. We did have a party of 6, but only 4 were drinking, so the tastings were free.
I'm more of a full bodied bold red person, so other than the last pour, I was hoping there would be more reds. They did let us taste the Oakville Cab as well when we went downstairs. We actually ended up getting the Coombsville without tasting it. I believe my friend was looking to taste it but there was a miscommunication and we ended up just buying instead. Glad everyone liked it tho as we corked it at lunch.
We sat upstairs and the decor is awesome. Kinda old world bougie with the velvet seating. We were the only ones there so I felt bad that our server kept having to go back and forth. She was the one who suggested we go down to the bar area to sample more wines.
I do wish they let you make reservations online for parties of more than 2. I had to email customer service to book. And my group typically changes headcount ALL the time, so I'm that annoying person who reaches out with updates constantly. I'd feel better if I could just change it versus having to email customer service every time. They were more than pleasant and accommodating.
The taste of Buena offerings are okay for the price, but as a member, it was a fun stop.
