I stopped by for wine tasting. Tasting room has a bar in front and several tables inside main room. Was decorated festively for an event. Our server was one of the owners. I didn't catch her name but was most accommodating and very pleasant. She offered a lot of information about her wines as well as to where to go for dinner. I tasted 5 wines.
