| - This is one of those places, where you give a one star rating, because Yelp forces you to give that at a minimum. My husband and I were on vacation this past week and we wanted to try out some local Arizona wineries. We didn't have an Arizona wine map with us, but our GPS could find some for us. This one happened to be in the direction we were headed, and only 10 minutes out of the way. Great! .... WRONG! They advertise themselves to be a winery and bistro. When we walk in, really all it is, is a restaurant that has wine that you can taste. We go up to the bar to sit, since that is where the wines are kept. The rest is all dining room seating, so we figure this is the easiest route to go, to get a tasting, since we were not there for a meal. We walk up to the bar and sit down and are each handed a sheet, which lists out all of the wines available. Only one-third are Kokopelli wines. The rest are from other vineyards, some were also from New Mexico. Okay... well, we pick some, six each to give the place a fair shot. The lady serving us, poured out the wines. The first in a wine glass and the rest in little shot glasses. We were instructed to follow our sheets, since she poured them down the list, in the order that we picked them. And she walked off. We were shocked to say the least. We are used to when a place tells you it is a winery, with tastings, that this is what they do. We received NO information on any of the wines, she didn't even stick around while we did this. And it's not as if it were a busy time of day, and she was helping other people. There were four waitresses, one other couple at the bar (who got there about 10 minutes after us) and three different sets of people at the tables in the dining room. The wines are very mediocre, we actually liked the New Mexican wines better. Oh, also we got a cheese plate, which tasted like one of the packaged one you get from the store and it sits in the fridge until you open it. Nothing fresh. And also they serve you bread. A HUGE loaf, when only about a third of it is necessary. The bread was okay... I think that it may have been better if it had not been served with a PEPPERY BUTTER. Needless to say, this place is definitely not recommended.
