    This is Swedish meatballs! Best I have ever tasted! And, I am Swedish

    Very friendly place! Dennis got up from his table to greet us and we had a blast chitchatting. Service was excellent and food even better! Amazing bistro & wine made right there too!

    Terrific wine flight & fantastic menu! We enjoyed a terrific wine flight with both whites and reds. We ended up buying a couple of bottles of the white. The lunch menu was fantastic, with everyone in our party of six enjoying different meals. I highly recommend visiting this winery and also taking a tour. 5-stars for this wonderful winery!!!!!

    Totally unexpected gem out in the country! We randomly went here while we were up north at the cabin and wanted to see if there were any wineries nearby. It was winter so we didn't get to experience the patio, but the tasting room was really cute and they have a ton of menu options. We had meatballs with crostini, a salmon sandwich, and the tater tot hot dish. The hot dish was the highlight as it featured a sort of curry flavor and was a cool take on a traditional item. Salmon was a hit with the Mr. as well. We liked the wines so much we took advantage of their case special and loaded up for the holidays. Definitely will be back next time we are up north!

    We had such an amazing experience celebrating our anniversary!! The owners are so incredibly nice and informational. We really liked the cab and had the cheese board which was very good!!! They have a full menu of food options and a gorgeous event center for parties and wedding with a beautiful backdrop to take pictures in front of. The owner gave us a tour of the property which was so fun!! Would definitely recommend we were so pleasantly surprised and loved our experience!

    The wine flight!!!

    Fabulous wine tasting and food. The owner took us on a tour, wine was fantastic and so was the food!!!

    Chicken Quesadilla, was delicious! The green sauce was amazing.

    A Brainerd Lakes area must. A perfect pairing of wine, expertise and delicious bistro food. Dennis, the owner and career award wining wine maker has curated a great wine selection and Jody has crafted a gourmet and casual chalkboard menu. Super fun environment, you walk in and feel like family.

    Cheesecake with Frontenac grape syrup made this mom smile on Mother's Day!

    Great night out. Wife had the BLT salad and I had the tortellini in marinara sauce and meat balls. Excellent. Wine was terrific.

    If you're looking for the cutest winery near the twin cities, DeCorsa is it!…read more Betty and Mike who own/ run the winery were beautiful hosts and the wines were top notch! This was supposed to be a quick stop for us but we ended up spending hours chatting and playing board games with Betty! Brownie points to them for have a winery puppy. 15/10 for puppy kisses at DeCorsa! We can't wait to go back and we left feeling like we hung out with a couple of friends! It was a huge bonus that their wine was yumm!!

When we arrived the place looked closed and we weren't sure what to make of it. When we came into the space it was very dark and it remained dark the entire time we were there which I thought was odd. But the winery is powered by solar panels which I thought was cool! But I swear it must've been 50 degrees inside the building because half of us were freezing. It also looked like a lot of the decorations were incredibly old and outdated and hadn't been dusted in a long time. The woman that helped to service us was very nice and personable and I thought we had a good time talking to her and her husband. They told us a lot about the winery and how the community helps to keep it running. I've never been to such a small winery like this one so it was nice to hear how they keep it running! The wine: the reason why im not giving this a lower star rating is because of how good the wines and prices were. For less than ten dollars you can sample 5 wines and they let us pair up and share tastings so we could try them all! I loved each wine and they all tasted unlike any other wines I've ever tasted. Very fruity and fragrant and delicious. :) Overall I think if the owners added more lights and cleaned up the decorations this place could easily jump from a 3 to a 4!

    What a fabulous find! We were on our way on the hwy headed south and saw the Ann River. Since my…read morename is Ann, we decided to make a u-turn and take a picture. Now facing north we saw the sign for the Ann River Winery. We stopped into the tasting room and found a happy crowd of folks there and a very friendly and helpful lady, who turned out to be the owner. It was "Cheesecake Sunday" so of course we had to try the cheesecake with our flights of wine. Very good cheesecake with the topping of our choice! They had a large selection of wines and we ended up buying a couple bottles as well as some merchandise. We had a very fun experience and loved hearing the story about origins of the winery. I highly recommend this winery!

My brother and I decided to hit up all the places listed on the East Central Craft Beverage Trail so we could take notes for places to recommend at our family VRBO up there. We both tend to favor gourmet foodies and foreign red wine; but also really enjoy most of the local breweries and distilleries popping up in MN. We opted for 2 flights of the 6 samples for $6.50 (nice price!!) and compared notes with each other. While we both tend to not really go for white wines, the winner for us ended up being none other than Painted Lady, which was very much a white wine. The wines were better than some of the MN wineries that I've had (keep in mind, I have been a foreign red wine only kind of gal for years- so that is a high bar to meet!). There were a few that were a bit too sweet/syrupy but over all, I was pleased with the tasting and would even consider ordering a few by the glass. Random tidbit- they allow you to snow shoe or cross country ski by the vineyard if you'd like!

So I thought I'd check in on one of my favorite chefs Matt Annand (featured in the MN Homegrown cookbook) and sadly Prairie Bay is closed. But he's now running the show at Notch*8. He's still bringing the good stuff - elevated but recognizable supper-club style wedge salad, tender brisket on focaccia with an onion soup jus that was so satisfying. (Literally- I could make a post about the jus) The show stopper? This off menu (but I'm told it could become a regular) desert has no name as of yet - but I'll give you my take... Zabaione takes a trip to the lakes region and cosplays as a roasted marshmallow - falls in love with the local berries and settles down in a house with a view. Make sense? The zabaione had a perfect balance/consistency- but the brûlée at the end was brilliant. I was here "out of season" for local fruit but I know Matt is committed to local sourcing - so an excellent dish will only get better with "in season" fruit. (I'd love to have seen a kernza flour + hazelnut cookie on top - but that may be gilding the lily) great job crew!
