This is a fun place. Although you can taste, it is more a restaurant inside a winery. However, we asked to taste first before ordering lunch and they accommodated us very nicely. In fast, the people we interacted with were uniformly helpful and friendly.
We ordered two flights, a sparkling wine and their white/red flight. We got those two and a red wine flight. After talking to one of the more knowledgeable people, out came a taste of their Syrah for each of use; later we were treated to their Bad Karma. We got more than we ordered, which a good place does; we got to talk to knowledgeable people. Excellent.
We enjoyed their sparking wines, particularly their Blanc du Noir. This is a bubbles house and they do a nice job with these wines. Both their
Rose and Gewurtztraminer were excellent and we came home with a couple of bottles of each. We liked their Estate Syrah; yes, we bought a couple of those as well. They do some interesting blends; due to budget constraints, we left those for another day. This place does good wine that satisfies a number of different palettes and budgets; not surprising they have a good club presence.
There were three of us, so we ordered the sweet potato fries, the cheese plate with salami and their sliders to share. Great aioli for the fries; double yum. Another great aioli for the sliders; they compared very favorably with the burgers we had the day before and I think we like these better. They did not have too many ingredients. The cheese board had cheese, bread, fruit, candied pecans and salami. It had a great balance.
Glad we stopped in; this is more a restaurant that allows you to taste good wines. Plan accordingly. Surprisingly, they also feature a couple of brandy's. We did not try them; perhaps next time. I expect a return trip. Try it and enjoy eating in the caves in the spring and outside in warmer weather.
