| - I'll give it two stars instead of one because of the sheer potential this place has. Absolutely beautiful grounds and facilities! But that's where the fun stops.
There are 14 wines to sip from, which is way too many, and so they should make a dry list and a sweet list or a List A and B. This way you accommodate the locals who like sweets and also the connoisseurs who usually fancy drys.
The 50-cent/1 oz pours are reasonable, contrary to some other postings on here. If you want an actual drinking/tasting, then they have that option, too.
But the cold, sterile, uninviting attitude is too much. Wine culture and the winery lifestyle (a la Napa, Sonoma, France, Italy, etc) is: lively, fun, relaxing, edifying, productive, social, and just amazing -- good times, good memories, good friends. I was there all of 12 minutes, trying to chat up the hostess, who was not having it. I tasted five wines and they were incredibly good! Which is a shame because of the weird attitude....
Finally, wineries around the world have a tasting "flow." This is based on the tongue|tastebuds|flavor development|sugars|tannin|etc. This tasting list is a hot mess of epic proportions, period! Champagne last? Rose in the middle? no no no -- it is all wrong on so many levels.
I seriously hope it gets better because it is new and has grossly untapped potential. Cheers!
