Grand Cru Custom Crush is a winery collective and home to 20+ local, family owned wineries. Grand…read moreCru Custom Crush was designed to allow for independent wineries to partner their unique winemaking talent with world-class production technology to create some of the best wines Sonoma County has to offer. It also feels good to be supporting local winemakers with exceptional wines instead of corporations. Like almost all wineries and tasting rooms, it's very important to schedule your tasting in advance. We made an appointment in advance and did a wine tasting with Stringer Cellars. We sat down in their beautiful tasting room and were both blown away by all of their wines! They were all exceptional and we loved every one of the wines that we tried! On their website it says that their winemaking approach incorporates curiosity, grit, integrity, science, but most importantly the never ending pursuit of making great wine. We found that to be very true! It was an intimate experience to taste wines with the winemaker and it was a very educational experience as well. We loved learning about each of the wines, the wine making process, and the different wine regions where the grapes were grown. We were also able to tour the facility and it was an all around amazing experience! When you walk into Grand Cru there are wines showcased from the different wineries that provide wine tastings there so you can shop around and choose a bottle from a different winery if you would like to try out different wines as well. We absolutely loved this experience and will definitely be back!

Being a first time patron I opted for the House Wine Flight and charcuterie, so that I could get a little taste of everything.

While I enjoyed each of the wines I tried (Sauvignon blanc, Rose, Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Syrah and Malbec), I don't know that any one style screamed out at me more than the next. The Sauvignon and Rose were probably the two more at the top for me. I look forward to not only checking out this cute town again, but also spending some time at Baldassari to see what else they have to offer!

They had a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Red blend, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and a Rosé of Pinot Noir. I had a glass of the Viognier and my husband had a glass of their Cabernet Sauvignon and a glass of their Sauvignon Blanc. We both absolutely loved the wines we had and highly recommend this place when in downtown Windsor. You have the option of getting wine by the glass, bottle, or doing a wine tasting. They have lots of music events and other events such as Paint and Sip for you to enjoy. We enjoyed sipping amazing wine and listening to good music before walking to dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Our pup was welcomed and they invited us to enjoy our picnic lunch on the patio (come mid-week when there are less crowds!) and enjoyed our time talking to the hostess, who was very sweet, and the wonderful tasting room experience. An added bonus was the walking path ( you will see the sign when you pull in the driveway) that had a greenway and a special events location. This was in addition to the beautiful grounds around the tasting room, which has a wonderful history as a barn, a home and now tasting room(s). We will make a point of coming back when we come back west again!

We were shown to our table and they offered us some time to walk the grounds, garden and view the lake. They said we could spend more time after lunch, viewing the rest of the property. The garden was beautiful. Lots of herbs and flowers, with labels. The restaurant itself was gorgeous. Wood. High ceilings. Nice decor. Our server seemed pretty new. He made a few errors throughout, but that did not significantly deter from our experience. It was really neat that the chef came out with every pairing and explained each course. We never felt rushed. There was plenty of wine. The food was exquisite. We ended up buying a few bottles of wine and even though I filled out the shipping information and told the server my preferred vendor was ups over FedEx because I have an account - he managed to bring our bottles of wine all bagged up, to our table. Yikes. We were curious about the pizza oven upon arrival. We saw it and hoped for pizza but they did not have that on the lunch pairing menu. So after we finished our scheduled lunch, it was pretty slow there, so we asked if we could stay and order more food. Our server brought the menu for us (after our third request) and we ordered a pizza and the fries which basically stated on the menu that they were the best fries you've ever had. Well, I can attest that they are not. Yes, they are shoestring fries for you lovers out there. But also, they're not a step too far from McDonald's. So that's all. Not the best of my life. Not life changing. Just like McDonald's. But the pizza was good. Unfortunately I had asked if it was red sauce and was given a yes answer. But you can see the pizza doesn't have any red sauce on it at all. I probably would've ordered a different one, if I was properly informed. Also, I asked for no balsamic glaze and of course it came with balsamic glaze. Yet another error. Whatever. I'm not sure what's up with people who swear by balsamic? Keep it off my bruschetta, it doesn't belong there. And don't put it on Brussels sprouts either. Yuck. Too much sugar and it's not necessary. On the pizza, it was fine, but not my preference. But it probably saved the pizza because there a was NO SAUCE. Anyhow- their little gift shop area is super cute and I perused the items. Also- they have a shelf of board games! How fun! It would be great to come by, get some light bites, a ton of wine, and play games and take a walk to enjoy the property. It's such a gorgeous place. I would recommend this place. The lunch and wine pairing was expensive, but the food was superior quality. The wine here is great. We did not become members but I can see why people do. Their Sauvignon blanc was one of my faves, so that was two of the bottles we purchased. Our order was eventually packaged and sent to us, via FedEx, not UPS, and was in good shape upon arrival.
