Klinker Brick Winery — Attraction in Lodi

Unfortunately visiting Klinker Brick Winery turned out to be a real klunker. First I was greeted by Brennan who basically looked at me like what are you doing here. After the rude greeting, I still decided to try the wine. Big mistake. She told me to go outside and that she would bring the wine out to me. Guess what, she never brought it out! After about 20 minutes I went back inside to see what happened. She said she didn't see me come out of the bathroom and thought I had left. I guess it was rude for me to ask where the bathroom was.

I get rules. But there’s also the ability to be reasonable, which this place seems...

The wines range from light dry Albarino to full bodied reds. We like the Old Ghost Zinfandel, Farrah Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon the best. Prices for the wines are very reasonable. The only drawback is very little attention from the staff if you like to ask questions about the grapes and the specific wines but there are answers on the website which we accessed during the tasting.
