Our first visit to Black Sheep winery and what a pleasant little wine room. Our server was great company and the little house was very cozy. The wines were nice enough for us to purchase one. They also had a dessert wine, a bit too fruity on the raspberry side though for me, but by all means stop in and give it a try for yourself. One nice side note, your tasting will include a free gift, their labeled wine glass!!!

We have been a fan for years. Kathy is a doll and pours wonderful wines. Our favorite is the Cinsault. So so goooood.

*Cue the bass line* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9F5xcpjDMU I couldn't get this song out of my head the whole time I was tasting. No wonder all the yuppies were giving me the crooky eye as I was grinning and sipping my wine. I like their setup. Quaint, small townish, free to taste whatever they are offering, and most importantly, complimentary pours. This is how wine tasting used to be, yes, even Napa Valley. No pretense, just point, they pour, you taste and hopefully you'll learn something. I learned that their strong points are their "punch you in the mouth" type of zins, very California. There is pepper, cedar, lots of tannin (even for a 4 year old) and lots of dark, red fruit. I got to compare their popular Amador County Zin to the Calaveras County Zin. Calaveras was way more fruit forward which is why it came home with me ($20) as I figured it will be featured at one of my summer bbqs. This is why I love wine tasting, to be able to taste specific growing areas and to be able to compare, which in my opinion, is a great way to form an opinion. So make a choice, would you like to go with "this" or would you like to go with "that"?

10 Points if you recognize their old tasting room.

If you like a classic full bodied traditional California style Zinfandel, this is the place to get it. Their zin is peppery, complex, and delicious. It's priced appropriately, and embodies everything you'd expect from a California Zin.

Had a small hiccup with a wine pickup and Kathy went above and beyond making it right with their wine and service. Thank you Kathy.

Wine was fine, service was fine, small pours for $10. Visit Gossamer Cellars instead.

Nice people. Wine was excellent and a great value. We walked away with half a case and a beautiful port for $75.
