There is always that one hidden gem that makes your wine country holiday worth it. For us, Brook Eden was it. We chanced upon it, really. We were driving to another vineyard in the vicinity and saw the drive way and took a chance, and we’re so happy we did. Ed and his wife run the cellar door and the estate and are (obv) very knowledgable. We spent our time there with Ed and the lovely pets (2 dogs), learning about their wine. We really liked the Nero (Italian for Pinot Noir), and ended up doing their Pinot Noir flight, which we strongly recommend (perhaps complemented by their cheese and meats platter)
Good luck Ed! You guys...

From the moment we arrived it was nothing but awkward from the wife. The wine from my point of view as a fine dining restraint owner was not rateable. There was no explanation other than it won an award last year in France. For a family owned business there just was no pride shown. If you love wine an know what you are tasting don’t waste your time here. Drive an extra 5ks up the road to Clover Hills you will thank me for your experience and it’s only...
