Please be careful when ordering from them. I went with friends as a first timer. It was a lovely day, I enjoyed the experience. I ordered 6 bottles of wine, joined the wine club. I made a mistake on the order and asked for a new sheet. I should have ripped it up. I redid the order and assumed everything was taken care of. After I returned to New York, I got a notice that my order was on the way to be delivered 6/7 and charge card had a 404.00 debt on it from KJ. I called and spoke to a lovely woman who looked into it and stated she would cancel my order, that this should not have happened and would refund my money. I got another notice that an order was being delivered now in the 9th but no refund. I called and spoke to a man this time who kept insisting that I ordered a case even though I kept explaining what happened and the person who did our wine tasting knew that. I asked to have the shipment canceled but I was told it was too late. I told him I did not want a case of wine (6 bottles of 2 different types. 1 I don't remember tasting which was probably the mistake). I feel like I was taken advantage of as a novice. My guide for the wine tastings knew I made a mistake but put 12 bottles thru instead of 6. Beware of what you are ordering. This is not honest. He didn't even try to work with me or try to help me in any way just kept saying they really want me to try the wine. This really turned a beautiful into something...
Read moreKendall Jackson is a high-quality winery that has been in Sonoma County for over 20 years. They have a great tasting room on the north edge of Santa Rosa along Hwy 101. The wines are well made, and there is a nice variety. Prices are very affordable. The staff was educated and helpful, the grounds beautiful. If you are from out of the area, this is a great place to visit. There is such a variety of wines, that you will be sure to find something you like.
Personally, I live locally and I am turned off by the volume Kendall Jackson produces. There are so many small boutique wineries that I prefer to spend my time where a winemaker specializes in 2 or 3 varietals such as just Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, or just Bourdeau blends. Kendall Jackson produces 9 types of Chardonnay and 8 Cabs not to mention all the other popular varietals and blends. I'm leaving this review because I gave Kendall Jackson a visit yesterday 11/3/18 for a Wine Road event. We had a white wine paired with homemade White Bean and Ham Hock soup. Both the soup and wine were great and made a great pairing.
If you want to sample a wide range of quality wines that are priced right, Kendall Jackson is the perfect place for a...
Read moreWow! This winery had an unexpectedly impressive vegan multi course meal and wine pairing, I was m blown away with their vegan dishes and how delicious the wine was given they are known to be a mass wine producers, their estate does a wine tasting with their selective smaller batch estate wines.
I was part of a group of 7 who mostly all ordered the regular lunch menu with one other vegetarian, they had an elegant dining set up with a big bright airy tasting room that had beautiful views and setting for lunch.
The service was attentive, informative, and accommodating and the vegan dishes were so intentionally crafted (unlike the common sad salads and lack luster substitutes), with delicious vegetables straight from their garden on the property - I especially loved the collard green stuffed with mushrooms and farro with a super flavorful broth (pictured), they even had vegan cheese for the last course, and a dark chocolate truffle for dessert.
Definitely a place worth stopping by, don’t be steered away just because it is a mass label brand, it’s rare to find a solid vegan food and wine pairing...
