We had an incredible time with Bruno and Kris tasting wine and learning about their craft. It was a unique and educational experience. If you’re expecting a cozy porch seat with a view and a server bringing you overpriced wine, go elsewhere. But if you seek amazing wine paired with an expert winemaker’s invaluable insights then is the place to go! Loved it :)…plus wine dogs!
Thank you Kris and Bruno for making our day. Your kindness, time and generosity were most appreciated. We learned a lot in a relatively short time. Although we have been enjoying your excellent wines for more than 20 years, it was terrific to finally meet the two characters and some of the crew that make them. As with all great businesses, the wines we purchased will be lovely souvenirs of our experience that we can share with friends and family! Last, but not least, WOOF, WOOF to your 3 beautiful Shepherds. They are a hoot!Cheers- Paul and Sue
Best wine tasting experience. We started with this place, we should have saved it for last. How do you top them off? Bruno is very knowledgeable and very personable. Highly recommend, nothing like it. Love you guys, thank you...
My son and I were serendipitously lucky to encounter Kris and Bruno, and were treated to a marvelous lesson on wine making. We then were treated to the perfection of the products that their knowledge, dedication and imagination has created .And wow! They...all of them that we tasted, will have a place in our world. They range from the clarity and simplicity of a wine that you could open for any moment, any occasion, to wines of such complexity and depth that they immediately set your thoughts of how good they would be with a specific pairing.Thanks Kris and Bruno, special folks with amazing wines!
Great wine, nice people and 3 cool dogs. Overall a very pleasant experience. We joined the wine club and we are looking forward to the pickup party. We enjoyed a bottle of the Pinot Noir with friends and they joined as well.
