Yay! What an amazing spot.
We called ahead en route on a Sunday afternoon, and Liz was gracious enough to be super welcoming to our group of 6 even on shorter notice that we'd normally plan. We tasted both wines and a variety olive oils on our visit, and holy smokes-- such a fun experience. Liz navigated supporting the three groups (including ours) in the tasting room expertly, ensuring that all parties were well taken care of, entertained, and informed as to what we were tasting.
Between funny banter, great wines (I adored their red blends, especially the Altas Vinas mourvedre blend, and the lovely super-dry rose), amazing olive oils, and a cheese plate that my parents raved about, this is a winery that we will definitely return to and steer others to check out.
The olive oils have fun and unexpected bits of kick to them-- some pepper, or heat on their finish. Just way beyond the basic. We walked out with two of those, the most amazing Zoom coffee mug (Liz's brainchild), and some incredible wine.
Bonus points for eco-friendliness-- their water bottles are reusable, with a refilling station in the retail area of the tasting room. No having to ask for water if you're big on hydration like I am, and better for the environment? Win/win. This spot is also dog (and apparently cat) friendly, so you can bring your fur buds.
Thanks for a great time!
