Such a lovely experience at this family owned winery. Several members of our family were in town for a Celebration of Life, and took some time to explore the wines here. We had a family wine tasting, and it was absolutely delightful! The wines were all delicious, and the whole experience was so relaxing, and enjoyable. Ironically, our family last name happens to also be "Inman"...although no known relation, still really cool! Thanks so much!!

Inman Family Wines is a hidden gem in the heart of Sonoma County. Tucked away in a charming farmhouse, this winery offers a truly unique and intimate wine-tasting experience. The owner and winemaker, Kathleen Inman, is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She takes the time to share her expertise and educate visitors on the winemaking process, making the tasting experience both fun and informative. The wines themselves are simply outstanding. From the crisp and refreshing Chardonnay to the bold and complex Pinot Noir, each wine is crafted with care and precision. The setting at Inman Family Wines is both charming and inviting. The farmhouse tasting room is cozy and welcoming, with rustic touches and warm lighting that create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Visitors are encouraged to take their time and savor each sip, making for a truly enjoyable and memorable experience. Overall, Inman Family Wines is a must-visit for any wine lover. The exceptional wines, personalized attention, and charming setting make for an unforgettable wine tasting experience. I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying a glass (or two) of their incredible wine. Be sure to pick up a fair share of Endless Crush!

Truly, this was the highlight of our summer vacation! It was just thrilling to have an intimate wine tasting with Kathleen: who plays such a vital role in the entire process. The wines are absolutely fabulous and have quickly become some of our favorites🍷 Inman Family Wines powers their operations with the sun and even offers ⚡️ChargePoint charging for EVs 😎 Already looking forward to another visit!

Kathleen was terrific! Her "Zero Footprint" philosophy really resonated with us (ask her about it!). She's very personable and explains the process artfully and enthusiastically ... she obviously loves the business. You need a reservation for a wine tasting session (easily done online) ... ours comprised pinot gris, rose, pinot noir (2), chardonnay, and blanc de noir, which were all excellent(!) but, surprisingly to me, my favorite was the OGV Estate Pinot Gris. We had a great time and would love to return.

What a peaceful pleasant place! Amazing selection of Pinot Noirs and the Rose is by far my new favorite summer wine! Kathleen, you were a super host! I could listen to you for hours. We will definitely be back. Thanks for such a great experience.

Great wine. Met the winemaker, wonderful service and experience. Great story behind the wine.

We had such a wonderful visit and tasting at your beautiful place. The wines all are 5star in my opinion. Learning about how your winery is environmentally friendly is also a great point to be made. Meeting the staff and talking with you Kathleen made the experience even that much better. Oh, and the video crew that was their was doing a shoot of your place was also special. Thank you, David and Lisa Barrett

This was our last spot of the day. We enjoyed our visit. Our host was super nice, friendly and informative. She gave us info about the wine, the owner, and the area. We had sparkling to whites to reds. We enjoyed sitting outside in the comfy chairs and the view of the vineyard. Such a relaxing place to visit. Walked away with some sparkling wine.

"There must be always wine and fellowship or we are truly lost." - Ann Fairbairn I've enjoyed their wine off and on for 16 years and have come out to taste several times. Lovey people who make lovely Pinots, Chardonnay, roses, sparklers. Definitely a splurge but well worth it. On my most recent visit I bought two bottles of the Russian River Pinot blend and a bottle of rose which paired perfectly with a homemade flatbread pizza. Highly recommended.

I went here for an event they had with the Humane society. The wine was ok, they had a nice lil patio, I didn't see the inside bc I had my dogs with me so we weren't allowed inside. The vibe was strange here. They seemed like they were trying to be relaxed and fun for their event but you could tell they aren't relaxed fun people. They were nice and putting in effort but it just wasn't a relaxed dog event like I'm used to. I had my chihuahua on my lap and was told to put him down bc he wasn't allowed on the furniture which I do get, I've just never had anyone tell me I can't hold my dog on my lap and I've taken him all over the country so we have been to many establishments together. I do appreciate that they support the Humane Society and that they did a dog event. They also have barn cats that seem to be treated very well. I'd go back here and would recommend checking it out for yourselves.

This is the best winery we have ever been to! Not only is the wine incredible, but Kathleen was so kind and knowledgeable. We loved hearing about her story of starting Inman winery, and the story behind endless crush rose! We will definitely be back! I would highly recommend this winery to anyone visiting the area.

Natalie F.

Yelp
One of the most memorable wineries I've been to in a long time! We were encouraged to visit Inman from one of the pourers in Benzinger's wine tasting room. We love champagne and sparkling wine and he spoke highly of Inman's bubbly options. We booked a reservation and brought a couple of friends. My bf and I arrived super early...before the winery even opened... and were happily chilling in the car when we were greeted by Kathleen herself! She was super friendly and invited us to head in while we waited for our friends to arrive. Kathleen led our tasting and WOW! So much knowledge, so much insight...I absolutely loved that she shared the story behind each of the wines. And the wines were amazing! My favorite was the Endless Crush Rose. It's pretty incredible that she has such a hands-on approach to winemaking, because let me tell you... it does not sound easy. Great wine and a fun place to visit, especially if you love learning about wine like we do!

Yelp
What a GREAT tasting!! The wines are so delicious, and the winery is very homey and comfortable. There is a great array of Pinot Noirs available, each different and quite wonderful. Don't miss the Rose (Endless Crush) which is a rose of Pinot Noir. This is definitely a boutique winery, producing fewer than 5,000 cases every year. And, there is a good chance you'll run into owner/wine maker/ grower Kathleen Inman, who is a wealth of information and positive energy. If you are in the area, get off the beaten track and explore Inman! You'll love it!

It is really a great wine tasting experience for me. People here are so knowledgeable, and nice. And the outdoor view is also very beautiful. I like their wine and purchased a few bottles. I definitely recommend it.

I really love this little winery. I read some complaints about showing up for an appointment early and being "turned away" but that is the point of an appointment! There is not enough staff or seating to accommodate more than they are scheduled for. With that being said, I called to see if they could take any last minute appointments and they got me in 15 minutes later so there no hurt in at least trying if you are trying to get in short notice. Also, there are a lot of great little boutique wineries on Olivet that you can enjoy while you wait. If you want a wine experience; a REAL wine experience (not just looking to get drunk and party) I highly suggest Inman. It's an intimate, appointment only winery with amazing wines. I've learned something new every time I've ever gone there (from Jon) and you can tell that they put a lot of attention and careful detail into their wines and winery.

Yelp
We happened upon Inman, not realizing it was an appointment only winery. The yelp page didn't have it correct (I put in an edit); however they were friendly and let us join another tasting party that had a reservation. The wines were good, but not necessarily our style enough to purchase a bottle, but they were certainly high quality. The grounds are beautiful, and two cats are out and about greeting customers.

Delicious Pinot and Rosé with a beautiful story. A seasoned female winemaker (Kathleen) who helped pave the way for other women in the industry. Kathleen and Susan attended to us with the utmost hospitality. It was a wonderful day date!

I hate to do it but just cannot give this place a good rating. I was excited to support a family owned business. The grounds were pretty. We had a little trouble finding the tasting room w no sign and us not being able to see where to go where we parked. We almost just left. We saw a cute outdoor seating area, but only seeing one area w ppl already there (there were actually two areas), we went inside. We went in for the Visa Signature benefit, and we were told it's a wine member discount of 15% on a case of wine (that's so expensive!). The owner and another lady were pouring, and they were so nice! However, I have to give two stars for the pours and price. We were told it was $15 a tasting, which is quite expensive, so we decided to split the tasting. The pours were almost non existent! The first wine tasted ok, but we were given almost no wine. No joke, just putting the wine to my lips absorbed half of what was in the glass. Immediately we were frustrated and thanking that we didn't pay for two tastings! We got slightly more in the ones after that, but still not where it is with most tastings we've been to. Then the lady went out of the tasting order with the Pinots and didn't tell us. I noticed by looking at the label. They are also priced at $68!! Although we enjoyed one of them, not for the price. We were told we would be able to taste their bubbly. There was still some Pinot in my glass, and she didn't even rinse my glass! I tried the bubbly anyway, but couldn't tell if it was any good as the remaining Pinot ruined it. When we went to pay, she had troubling charging us on the iPad. A $10 fee popper up, and they were nice enough to charge us that. They explained that this was the original tasting fee, but when they added bubbly they decided to increase the price. $5 increase for the smallest pours for one additional taste? No thank you. Felt like they were trying to rip people off. We were outta there in less then 10 min. More than a dollar a min for the smallest pours and some of the most expensive wine from a small family owned winery I'd never really heard of? No thank you.

All wines are well balanced and beautifully done. More importantly, they treat you like family when you visit.

They have been making very good wines grown on this property wine for a good number of years and now they have been able to build a wine making barn and tasting room. The wine maker is Kathleen Inman who very much controls the process and her green and sustainable ethic is built into the place, including a solar power station where users of electric cars can recharge their rides. The tasting room is charming and friendly; Kathleen is often around since wine making is a hands on process for her. The tasting bar counter is made of recycled wine bottles which is why we featured it in the photos. Their location of the corner of Olivet puts them near some other equally fantastic producers. Located at the junction of Olivet and Piner Road, the tasting room is open Thursday through Sunday: Wines: Rose of Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir.

Always a stop on our frequent sonoma trips! Everyone that works there is amazing, but a huge shout out to Kathy (owner and maker) who always has a great story about every sip. Be sure to get out there soon to be able to taste wine crack (2013 rose), best rose in California. We always have a couple bottles to drink at home. Others to take home: Pinot, pinot, pinot taste them all and take them home Everyone that has come out with us falls in love with the wine and the people...a second home!

Willow R.

Yelp
Good wines. I was a big fan of the Pinot Noirs but also surprised by the Pinot Grigio as I am not usually a fan. They also have sparkling which people are always looking for. If you have time to call ahead for an appointment this place is worth considering. The gentleman behind the bar was a chef and knew tons about the wine, food pairing, and the local goings-on. One of these stars is for him alone. We had the tasting room to ourselves which was nice as it is a small, intimate facility. My only critique was that the winery owner walked back and forth past us and through the room running errands (she was busy) but never acknowledged us. Even a quick smile, nod, or hello would have made the experience a little more special because people LOVE to meet the boss. But still a place I'd reccomend.

Sagruilla P.

Yelp
The wine was very easy to drink, and the owner was very easy to talk to. It is rare to find female-owned and operated wineries. She makes wines that she likes to drink, and it is evident--they all had a fresh taste, what you could drink unaccompanied or with dried fruit, brie, and almonds. I recommend going on a sunny day, buying a bottle, and enjoying with lunch and friends in their outdoor area. The grapes are mostly grown on the property, and there are chickens to visit. If you like going to wineries to taste interesting wines and get out of the city, but don't like crowds or pretention, this is the place to go!

I had visited and tasted in the original small tasting room a year ago and recently stopped in their wonderful new tasting room. The new facility is reflective of Kathleen's focus on minimizing environmental impact; the facility is 100% solar powered, reclaims all water; both very costly. The building has been gorgeously restored and materials were all re-used/recycled, even the concrete. I recommend checking it out, as much for the facility as the wines. Kathleen is know for her Pinot Noir, but also produces a wonderful Pinot Gris, and every other year a Pinot Rose. I am not one to call out other reviews; but as a local wine writer/blogger, the one star, and comments, by Vino L. is reflective of either clueless-ness or a really bad day. Inman wines are made in a true Pinot Noir, minimalist intervention approach to vinification; Kathleen lets each vintage express itself. If you are looking for California fruit bombs that look/taste more like syrah, then ya move on, this is true Pinot, in its proper, classic, elegant, feminine form. (Most the other wineries suggested are all good producers too.) I have tasted through multiple vintages and vineyards, and all are solid. Some I liked better then others, and variation is to be expected when a winemaker lets the fruit shine through rather than over manipulates it; all were high quality, wonderful wines, which is why I left with almost a case. (And I cellar ~600 bottles.) Do take time to visit when in Russian River. cheers www.simplehedonisms.com

Adorable, small winery that is completely family-run. They have some unique wines at Inman and we especially enjoyed their pinot gris and rose of pinot. I think we picked up at least three bottles at Inman. To top things off, the service was very warm and friendly. Kathleen poured our tastings and told us all about how she and Simon met, her daughter (who was also pouring that day), and how they remodeled the space into an environmentally-friendly winery. Overall, it was a really lovely experience. Great wines and wonderful service made the experience at Inman very enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend if you are looking to go wine tasting in the Sonoma area.

We were sent here by the wine blogger, Elizabeth Schneider -- www.winefornormalpeople.com -- and we were completely blown away by the hospitality and by the wines. We bought far more wine than we had planned and cannot wait to start sharing our finds with our friends. I am not a red drinker, nor am I a big fan of Chardonnay, so was delighted with the Pinot Gris. The highlight for us was the sparkling wine. It is just outstanding. The best part of the experience was the delightful conversation we had with the husband of the winemaker, Simon Inman. We only wished that Kathleen had been there -- it gives us a great reason to go back! I must add that I am absolutely perplexed by the reviewers who were surprised by the cost of the tastings and the wines. All I can think is that they must not have done much tasting in Napa and Sonoma because the pricing at Inman is entirely in line with the norm there. In addition, $68 for a small production, high-quality Pinot Noir is a very reasonable price. If you love great wine, add this wonderful winery to your "must visit" list.

Small tasting, winemaker is pouring the wine. It's been on my list because she is noted for making wines with finesse and sustainable practices. She is very open for discussion of winemaking practice, which is always refreshing. We figured the pinots would be good, which they certainly were. The surprise was the sparkling, which for a first time out, was surprisingly good. The pinots tasted to me to be more Petaluma Gap rather then Westside road and were tasty, balanced. Also, no. You're not supposed to wear perfume when you wine taste. It will mask the smell and flavors of the wine for you and EVERYONE around you. So if you wear perfume to go wine tasting, you're not only non-observant, but incredibly selfish. The winemaker has every right to tell you tot take a long walk off a short pier. If you want to wear perfume and taste some wine, either 1) stay at home or 2) go to somewhere off of Highway 29 in Napa in a huge tasting room where you'll pay too much $$ to drink a bunch of swill where it won't matter anyway. In all honesty even there they may take offense. Tasting: 6 wines (1 chard, 1 sparkling, 4 pinots) Price: $10 comp'd with purchase Appointment: NOT required Overall: Good pinot spot. Shows more finesse than most of RRV pinots. Will be back.

For those of you seeking THE REAL wine country, Inman Family Wines is a great place to visit. Kathleen Inman, winemaker and founder, is hospitable, generous, knowledgable and an all-around interesting person. The vineyard itself is gorgeous, and although I have yet to visit the new tasting room and winery, the photos look great. Go visit Inman Family Wines and enjoy! I really appreciate Kathleen's dedication to being a environmentally friendly. She has been outspoken about composting, organic and bio-dynamic farming and in making wine packaging more eco-smart. I've tasted her the Pinot Noir, Pinor Noir Rose and Pinot Gris on many, many occasions. All are delightful and to be shared with family & friends!

Luna C.

Yelp
Since William has done such a brilliant job with such an eloquent review, I'll keep mine short and to the point. Well mostly... -Stunning Pinot Noir, well structured and juicy, a beautiful representation of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir at a very reasonable price. -The perfect flavors of Kathleen's Pinot Noir Rose are still burned into the memory of my palate. Must return soon, just drank my last bottle the other night. -Loved the Pinot Gris, one of my favorites to pair with a lovely fillet of sole, or just sip on while working away in the garden. Very refreshing! -as for the Chardonnay, I'm just going to have to go back and taste again as I have yet to taste it, but I can only imagine with the skill that Inman has used to craft their other wines, this is bound to be a delight! Inman Family Wines are made for those who have developed a taste for fine wine. Perfectly structured and sublimely elegant, If you cannot appreciate Inman Family Wines that's just fine with me! Stick to your mass production, corporate owned giants. Leave the good stuff for those of us who know the difference!

Collin B.

Yelp
Rarely does one meet such an awe-inspiring family. Everyone from the winemaker, Kathy, to her youngest daughter Meredith and their taste champion Kim has something worldly and substantial to add to your experience. Conversation, delicious wines, and a patio that inspires nudity quickly melds into a photo op among the grapes and the sharing of war stories with shitty wines (from other vineyards of course) and the lack of quality men for straight women who embody the perfect mate. If you don't stop here and enjoy their rosé, you've wasted your entire trip to the Russian River Valley. But don't take my word for it. Go. Drink. Laugh. Get naked.

I recently has the pleasure of tasting at Inman Family Wines in the Piner-Olivet area. Kathleen Inman is a wonderful hostess who does it all! She was laid back and fun. Their new location is lovely. It was a very warm day and the tasting room was cool and relaxing. The tasting bar counter top is made of recycled bottles, and the counter behind is made from recycled materials as well. As you walk up to the tasting room (set among the vines and within sight of the farmhouse) there is an electric car charging station which is free to wine club members. Inman Family Wines also recently completed installation of a solar array! And their wine is stellar -one of my co-workers who doesn't care for wine isin love with their Pinot Gris!

Yanna L.

Yelp
We stopped by Inman on a complete whim as we were driving home from a few other wineries and I'm happy we did. All family owned and operated. We love Pinots (more earthy, less fruit forward) and Chardonnay (crisp, clean, no heavy oakiness), and they had some really delicious ones in our flavor profiles. We spent most of the time there debating if we could afford their wine club, which is only the second winery that we've ever seriously considered joining. Unfortunately as two graduate students, it was a tad out of our price range. We decided to at least leave with a Chardonnay and hope that we can eventually acquire more of their wines and possibly join their wine club. We will definitely be back!

Not normally a Chardonnay fan, but the Inman Family Chardonnay is wonderful. My partner and I recently paired it with some fresh cracked dungeness crab and some Lafitte foie gras from Paris and steamed artichokes and it was everything we wanted and more. you check out photos of what we ate it with on my food website: http://eatsporkjew.com/restaurants/i-said-i-love-youhe-said-he-had-crabs/

Love this place...Kathleen not only makes great wine, but she (along with her husband Simon and staff) is very friendly and a great host as well. Very cool tasting room and outdoor area. Highly recommend the Endless Crush if they have it. But seriously, everything is great (albeit slightly on the more expensive end).

Sarah B.

Yelp
We visit Inman each time we're in the area and it is always one of the highlights. This is the first time we've had the opportunity to chat with Kathleen. Conversations with the winemaker make the experience for me - and I love when their experiences reflect in their art. Her European influences are evident in her wines. The other servers are always interesting people who know the area well and are happy to provide you with directions to their favorite dinner spot in whatever town you might be staying in. We've also found that the other visitors to this winery are often friendly people who enjoy striking up a conversation. Endless Crush (rosé) is the bottle (or ...um... a few bottles) we always take home with us. It's affordable at $25 and is liked by the true wine lovers and the casual drinker. You can always pull this one out and know it'll be a crowd pleaser. Bonus - the focus on being a 'green' winery: electric charging stations, recycled countertops, etc. and Kathleen's continued drive to experiment with her craft (Whole Bunca Love, was "wild") Put it on your list - you can send a bottle of the rosé to thank me.

What a great way to start a day of wine tasting! Chances are one of the winemakers will come by and say hello and answer any questions. Be sure to try the "intentional" bubbly made from pinot. So delicious! They are organic, yet not certified and almost all of the wines are estate, but not marked. This is a beautiful, yet unpretentious place worth the stop.Just don't feed the chickens.

Nancy D.

Yelp
Pretty disappointed with this experience! We are completely unfamiliar with the area. We had set up an appt at 2:00p. We arrived 45 mins early and thought we could just sit outside and maybe wait for our tasting/tour. The guide came over to us as soon as we rounded the corner and when he realized we were early said he had another group and that we couldn't stay. He suggested we leave and find a place to maybe eat and come back. Well, we were in the country with only farms and vineyards around. We just got In our car and drove down the road not knowing what to do. Fortunately, on a whim, we pulled into Harvest Moon Winery where we were immediately greeted warmly and invited to sit on their patio and enjoy a tasting. We spent both time and money there. Folks were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We never went to our appt so we were out the $40. It was too embarrassing to go back there. I wouldn't recommend.

Cynthia B.

Yelp
I agree with the previous reviews, I had such a great experience here. Although, the wines reminded me of my champagne wishes on a beer budget...we couldn't help but splurge on 2 bottles. After hearing the story directly from the family regarding everything from harvesting to the special wine that was created for their anniversary. You can't help but feel an affinity for the family and share their passion for wine. Big bonus, they have a nice sunny patio area where I was able to bring my dog.

This review is for the wines only. I have not been to this winery, but I was introduced to their wine at the Jonathan Club Food Beer Wine Festival. We met Kathleen Inman, owner and winemaker of Inman Family Vineyards. This vineyard is in Santa Rosa, and Kathleen is producing some amazing wines. While she has been producing at this organic vineyard for 10 years, this seems to be her break out year, because her work is finally be recognized (she is about to get an award from the CIA as an up and comer). We first tried her 2009 Brut Rose Nature. I was not a big fan of this rose sparkling. It was a little too dry for me without much flavor behind it, but my companion loved it. On the other hand, the 2010 Russian River Valley Pinot Gris was a very smooth, light and mineral-y wine. I loved this wine. Then, we tried her two 2008 Pinots. The first was the 2008 Thorn Ridge Pinot Noir, which is produced from a friend's grapes. This is produced in a warmer area, so it fruit ripens more quickly. It was okay, but pretty tannic. Then, we tasted the 2008 Olivet OGV Pinot Noir, which is from Kathleen's grapes. This may have been the best Pinot Noir that we tasted all day - it was very fruity, because of the slower ripening, and picked up the minerality in her soil. I loved this wine.

Rachel S.

Yelp
My husband is a somm so he's pretty knowledgeable on what's good so we decided to check out Inman and had an amazing experience. We pulled in 15min before closing and realized it was probably too late but the owner walked out and waved us on in. What a warm welcome! She then did a tasting for us and showed us around, was super friendly and had good conversation with us, which is always a bonus... and we bought some wine cause it was yummy!

David C.

Yelp
This is an awesome family owned boutique winery with fantastic wines! This is a small winery that makes some great Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio & Chardonnay. The price point is in line with other high-end boutique winery's in the area and her wines rival them all. Highly recommend you visit and taste her wines!

Jocelyn L.

I'm not a fan of pinots, but they have really good (albeit expensive) pinots here. Friendly service, small, contemporary tasting room, beautiful grounds. If you're a Visa Signature card member, you get a free tasting.

What a charming little winery! The tasting area is extremely relaxing and every wine we tasted was delicious. The owner, Kathleen, and tasting manager, Jon, were friendly and knowledgeable. Our entire group came away learning more about the wine making experience. We can't wait for our next visit to this family winery!

Awesome Chardonnay, and I usually HATE chardonnay. Bright, but intimate tasting room. Friendly staff.

Katy M.

Yelp
We lucked out! Kathleen was pouring when we stopped by, and we had so much fun at Inman! We really enjoyed all the wines, and Kathleen was kind enough to show us around. The winery is on the Olivet Grange property on Olivet Road. Pinot Gris, Rose of Pinot, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the varietals she produces. The Pinot Gris is crisp and refreshing, the Rose of Pinot is one of my favorites in the area, and the Pinots...YUM! Silky, full bodied, classic Russian River Valley. Very cool tasting room - recycled glass counters, many green features!

Go for: - smaller tasting room where you can talk with the winemaker - a winery that values/practices sustainability - pinot lover looking for something a little interesting

Have been back a few times since the original review and was there again yesterday. Kathleen has a couple of really nice young guys working the tasting room and it looked like the winery's reputation is growing as they had been busy. The wines, as always, were excellent, especially the 2007 Pinot. Heartily recommended!

Ashley A.

Yelp
What a great experience! My fiance and I stopped here on a whim on a Saturday afternoon with no reservation. We were greeted warmly by Kathleen, the winemaker and owner. She quickly got us waters and tasting menus. Kathleen was friendly and happy to engage in conversation about the wines and how they are made. The wines were all tasty, we went home with a bottle of the chardonnay. We will be returning to this wonderful place with friends in the near future!

This was my first visit to their winery. Nice tasting room with a view of vineyards adjacent. Tasted six of their wines, all good to excellent. The winemaker knows what she is doing. I think the only reason I did not give ,more stars was what I perceived to be the high price point of their wines (Most around $68) While they were all delicious, I can't see paying that much unless it absolutely blows my socks off, and that didn't happen. They aren't in Napa after all. I appreciate a good bottle of wine but want to feel as though I'm not getting ripped off. That much for a bottle of wine in a restaurant okay, but not at the winery. But, very good wine.

We had an awful experience at the Inman Winery. We were greeted by winemaker/ owner Kathleen. There is a reason why the winemaker should not be pouring wine in the tasting room. She lacked customer service. Kathleen presented herself as a pompous human being. Furthermore, her wine was not tasteful to my pallet.

Sorry. The winemaker, who poured for us, was nice enough but we were underwhelmed by the wines. They were outrageously expensive. I wouldn't have bought them at half the price.

I went with 7 of my best friends and we were all cute and energetic and the owner did not like us from the first moment we walked in. She started talking about our perfume. Who the hell say's don't wear perfume.. Seriously?? I am buying your wine and I showed up at your place don't tell me what to wear and how to smell. Than she tried charging us for 4 glass's of wine when we had 3 glass's. Umm can we say horrible customer service. Dam bizzy..

This is a cool spot looks like an old barn outside but as you enter the side you see patio furniture walk inside you find a tasting room. the counter tops made of broken wine bottles that look like multi colored cortz stone with recycled wood very cool. This winery mostly do Pinots Chardonnays but I must say I'm a fan of the rose of pinot called the endless crush and the beautiful story behind the name. I wont ruin it but you must walk in and try the wines and hear the story from vintner Kathleen Inman.

Finesse and elegance is all there is to say. Kathleen's fine touch to winemaking really reflects her in Pinot Noir's. Each one shows the vintage and vineyard aspect above all else. Her wines have great acidity that produces juicy and structured wines. My favorite though is your Pinot Noir of rose. Just as Luna C. said its burned into my palette memory. I have enjoyed all three of their PInots, Pinot Gris, and Rose. I am very excited to try there Chardonnay. Will have to return!

Delicious wines, unique flavors, best chard I've had in a while - very citrusy. Also loved their rose (endless crush), and the pink sparkling. Honest to goodness good wine. Fun beautiful tasting. Knowledgable down to Earth winemaker.
