Blue Ostrich Winery & Vineyard — Local services in Leon

I came here with my wife to celebrate our anniversary in early January, on a Thursday afternoon. It was not very crowded at all, only three groups were present during our visit. Once you arrive, you will notice a little cage to the left where they keep one of their ostriches. It was my first time seeing an ostrich and it was pretty cool that they allowed us to see it. The place has an old farmhouse look, which makes it very unique.

Our waiter was very kind and informative. She was very attentive to us and kept refilling our water and making sure we were comfortable.

I would say that this place is perfect for a little date on a sunny Saturday, as long as it is not too busy. I really liked the way this place looks inside and out.

After the waiter explained the wine choices to us, we went with the Black Ostrich flight. I thoroughly enjoyed those wines, they were all on the sweet side. My favorite was Poppy's Garden. It had a strawberry scent and, of course, a hint of it when you drink it. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys drinking sweet wines. We also tried the Herb butter and cheese pull-apart bread and the ultimate holiday meatballs. I must say that the pull-apart bread stole the show. The meatballs tasted great with the fig, but that pull-apart bread is something else. It looks like a regular piece of bread, but you would not believe how flavorful it is! It had a fair amount of cheese and was very savory, enough to make you want more. You need to try this when you come!

Overall, I was impressed with this business. If you were hesitant about visiting, I recommend that you go for it. You...

Decided to see what the winery situation was in this area and visited three wineries. The Blue Ostrich offers a very high-quality facility. Surprised to see the tasting room so small, which is why virtually everyone is then escorted to more restaurant like area to be seated for a tasting. This location is quite nice and offered a suitable selection of snacks and small means to go along with the wine. We ordered the charcuterie, which was well done. We also had a savory baguette and schmear. Also very tasty.

For the wine tasting, you can do three different flights – white, red and sweet. Having gone to scores of wineries around the world, I am always disappointed when the wine tastings are these kinds of prearranged flights. I vastly prefer it when you can merely select the wines you want, and if that is a combination of some of each kind so be it. This approach kind of forces you into more flights than you might want to do to get a broad sampling. I would say 80% of the wineries visited around the world offer the guest selects, not the preset. For that reason, we had all three fights. Perhaps just not our taste, but there was only one wine I would buy and that is the Sun Kissed. The others that were good, but just not good enough for me to buy because I have better examples already in my wine collection were the Montepulciano and the Tannat.

So, overall, nice place, good enough wine, well presented food and the service was excellent. And yes, there are...
