Bee Hunter Wine | Anderson Valley Winery and Tasting Room — Restaurant in Ukiah

Edit.... my mistake, the bottle was 2014 Shirah, not 2019 as stated. Also, I see that the name on the review is Brian, it was me his wife, Lise

Not happy at all! 3 ladies stopped in for a tasting, unbeknownst to me, the cost was $30 each for the maybe 3 ounces of wine that you got to taste in total. The young man at the counter was inspired enough and believed in his product. As the driver of the group, which I mentioned a number of times, I took a couple of sips and poured the rest into my friend's glass. The first taste was acidic but I figured it was me, tho the next wasn't very good either. The third taste was ok. Anyway, we were charged $30 each for the tasting which was a big surprise to me and my friends. The deal, which was never mentioned or posted was that the tasting fee would be waived if we bought a bottle...... each! I was not impressed enough to buy a bottle, the cheapest being $60. My friend L bought one at $60 + tax to appease the wine Gods. We opened that bottle a couple of days later thinking that it would be a good bottle to celebrate our day. Guess what..... we poured most of it down the drain..... it had so much sediment in it that you could actually pick it up from the glass with your finger. What a terrible waste and a really really bad bottle of wine. It was the 2019 Shirah .... don't buy it. I would not recommend this place...

Don’t join the wine club. The owner knows how to build a dog but not a business. The wines are good and the dogs are cool, but c’mon, man. I was charged for wine that was never shipped. Six weeks later, I inquired and was charged again for yet another shipment. Four weeks later, I inquired about the double order and was assured the wines were on their way. No shipment. I eventually canceled the wine club and asked for a refund after months of nothing but was again assured the wines were being shipped. The wines finally shipped using a two-but delivery service when I was out of town. I tried to change the delivery address but had to go through Bee Hunter. No response. The wines went back to Boonville. I was nice and understanding, but ultimately I had to threaten legal action to get a refund. I must have spent 10 hours in calls and emails trying to get those...

We had a fantastic time tasting a wide variety of wines. Andy was generous with his encyclopedic and deep knowledge of wine, and his time. Our tasting was a fantastic exploration of different varietals, vineyards, and vintages, including some that were well-aged. The Pinot Noirs and Zinfandels were rich, bold and wonderful, but we were also wowed by the Grenache, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc. When we embarked on a five day wine tasting trip we swore not to join another club, but so many of the wines we tasted were extraordinary that we just couldn't resist joining Bee Hunter's, as it was our favorite tasting of the trip and of recent years. We just kept saying 'wow'. This was not the standard canned formal corporate wine tasting. We felt so fortunate to spend time with a creative genius giving us a tour of his...
