    Good friends + good food + good wine = Great experience
    Joseph L.

    If you enjoy going to quaint and quiet mountain villas that offer spectacular views and great hospitality, then consider the 55-minute drive easy of Redding to Manton, CA. This is where John and Linda Alger decided to share their passion for his wine and generous hospitality. They have unique wine varietals that can not be found anywhere else because they grow their fruit on the premises, which gives it a distinctly local essence. They also serve up an occasional dinner party for members and special guests, which, when paired, becomes a delicious and delightful experience! My gratitude for John and Linda goes especially for hosting our private event, which John says they do not typically do. The atmosphere was perfectly relaxed (after a long and stressful week, this was such a welcomed place to walk into), and their sweet and generous disposition complimented their stellar wine selection. Following a tasting and learning from John about each variety, we were served an excellent dinner prepared by their local chef (Lawrence?). We savored every morsel as much as every sip, and we all were so delighted that they agreed to have us there for this private occasion! In a world where connections and relationships have become strained and fragile by societal reformatting, the owners of Alger Vinyard and Wine here in Manton, CA, are "holding the line" and continue to give busy people exhausted from their daily routine an experience that will bring rest and relaxation in an environment that will infuse the heart and soul with comfort and peace. Thank you, Alger family, for providing this for our community.

    I visited this charming vineyard while staying with friends in Redding. The drive out was scenic and enjoyable. Once I arrived I was greeted by one of the friendly owners, Linda. She was warm, welcoming, and such a joy to speak and visit with. The wines were flavorful and of high quality. It was interesting to learn about their property, wine production and community. I highly suggest a visit if you are in the area. Cheers!

I ended up buying some reds, whites, and the Angelica for gifts as well as tee shirts because of my incandescent time as a retreatant, but I must also encourage you to go at a time when the gift shop is open because the jams, honey, and walnuts they sell there are DELICIOUS. You'll have to walk out of the tasting room and up the walkway alongside the vines to the gift shop during their hours of operation, which seem to vary, but are customarily 2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. They don't offer tastings of the walnuts, jams, or honey. When I got home and tried them, I wish they had since they are absolutely scrumptious and I would've bought more. I really wanted to buy raw walnuts because I had walked alongside the walnut trees during my retreat. However, they only sold the candied walnuts in the gift store. The candied walnuts are grown and made by the monks of New Clairvaux and the ingredients are: roasted walnuts, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. I gave some to my friends in Berkeley who said they were "delicious and slightly addictive." I agree! The cayenne pepper is subtle, but the mix of the cardamom and cayenne is perfection. If I tried them in the gift shop, I would've bought every one they had on their shelves. The creamed honeys for sale are prepared by the Cistercian Nuns of the Redwoods Monastery. When I saw "almond," because I'd never seen honey from almond blossoms, I bought a few. I should've bought some of the other flavors. I didn't realize until I opened them that they had crushed almonds and orgeat or almond syrup in them! I love orgeat in cocktails, steamed milk, in pretty much anything so this creamed honey is absolutely divine. Again, if I'd known, I would've bought every single jar of it. So, as you'd expect at the Abbey, because they don't have tastings at the gift store, you'll have to purchase the food items on faith. I recommend you do.

My wife ordered Prime Rib and I ordered their Rib-Eye Steak and a Caesar salad for us to share. The Caesar salad was absolutely delicious and so big we didn't finish it. The plan was that we would share our main course too. When they placed the plates on the table my jaw dropped. Not only because of the size of the portions, but because of the aroma of the food that had just been placed before us. I took a bite of my steak and couldn't believe my taste buds. (Actually, I am salivating right now as I write this.) I have written before about the various steak houses I have eaten at, some of which are quite famous. So when I say that is the best Rib Eye I have ever eaten, that's saying something. My wife said the same thing about here Prime Rib. Mine was so good I didn't want to share any more with her, but she kept asking so I gave here about five more bites. The Prime Rib was fabulous, but the Rib Eye was truly awesome. The accompanying white potatoes and carrot were just right The was excellent too. It was so good we bought two bottles to take home, which was not our original plan. While we were eating the chef visited our table to make sure everything met our expectations. We all raved about the food. When I asked where they got their beef I understood why it was so good. It is from cattle raised on their own ranch and is certified Organic, Prime Choice. I also learned that they do a Sunday Brunch where they offer an Eggs Benedict dish that includes beef medallions. Sounds yummy. Sorry about this, Jack's Grill, but this is now our #1 choice for steaks. I know we will go there for our anniversary and probably at least one of our birthdays each year. The tasting room looks like it will only seat about fourteen people inside. I am not sure what they do if more people show-up. Maybe they overflow them into the banquet building. If it's nice out, they have patio dinning too. In any even, I would definitely call first to let them know you are coming and about when you expect to arrive. Our meal, including a bottle of wine, came to $107, before tip. The service person was excellent so I tipped accordingly. I know this is a little wordy, but the food was that good. I planned to take some leftovers home, as did my wife. However, there weren't any. My wife always gets a doggy bag. Her plait was clean, as was mine. PS - We have eaten lunch twice and dinner three times since I wrote the original review, and it has been just as good each time. Wonderful food, wine and service/!!! (10/4/12)

You can order pizza and food freshly made. The owner was so sweet and gave us a personal tour of how the grapes are made. His passion and love for what he and his wife does really shines. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Support local business!

We tried the Chardonnay, Rose', Merlot, and Harvest Rogue. The tasting is $5 a person and is waived with purchase. Each wine was wonderful and we bought one bottle of each! Their wines were reasonably priced around $20. Also, we called the day before to see if they were open.

Wine maker Ernie knows what he is doing, and the delightfully affable wine pourer Crystal provides the finishing touch for an enjoyable wine tasting experience. The grounds surrounding the tasting room are green and colorful and very well kept. They're a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a picnic with a bottle of wine. The Pinot Gris and Cab Sauv weren't ready on the day we tasted, so we'll be coming back soon! Tasting fee is $5, which is waived with a purchase of two very reasonably priced wines.
