We stopped and a tall man with a very deep voice as if he stepped out of a tv commercial. All good, and I said I wanted to do a tasting. It was $15 per tasting, if you purchased a bottle it was waived. They have 3 types. Gin, Apple Brandy and a single malt that is basically a scotch but in the US you can't call it that, just like making a bourbon from a different country. Anyhow I liked them all but it was between the brandy and single malt. The single malt was $125, brandy is $105 and the gin is $75. Either way expensive. I got the most expensive and it waived my tasting and another person in my group. He explained that the brandy is aged for 4 years in an American oak barrel. He said they hand pick and source all the apples from the island. The next batch will yield 132 gallons of brandy and they will age it for four years. Whatever is remaining after some of it is lost in the barrel. Wine, we have to top it off to prevent oxidation but whiskey that will not happen. Anyhow it was a good find and I need to take this home on the plane. I recommend this place. It's on the main drag of East sound near the realtor office on the side, right before the public restrooms if you're coming from the main part of town. It's easy to miss it.

The wine is worth a bottle purchase but the upsell really gets you bc its like how can I justify $30 sips.

As soon as we arrived Chris ( one of the owners and wine maker) had an incredible spread of local cheeses and crackers laid out for us. He offered those who were not drinking a juice. He then started to go through the different wines. Provided us with what they do to make the wines and much more. Marti showed up who is the other owner and wine maker. She helped with the wine tasting, provided us an update on what they're doing and let me tell you they are above the curve on what they offer. No other wineries are doing the same thing. They've been incredible with the challenges that they may have faced but the wine is awesome. Then we sat around and we're able to talk like a large family and friends, try different wines and both Chris and Marti drank with us. Like I said they are unique and that's what makes this winery a great choice. You aren't going to get this same experience from the other wineries around. Love this place.. Before I forget we were blessed to have a sample tasting of the 2021 Sea Rows Blanc de Noir and let me tell you, get it while it lasts :)

Upon getting home and opening one they were bad, I checked the date and there were five months old. Today on Monday, I stop by the same store, with the entire six pack and asked simply to return it for another six pack. The owner refused to refund any money or exchange the product because I didn't have a receipt. Now I know normally that would seem fair but during Covid many shops, including this one arent automatically handing out a receipt. Left the six pack and any future business on the counter.

This space would be right at home in Park City, Aspen, Seattle.... The spirits are delicious. I will happily add their gin, Dock Line and bourbon into my home spirit rotation. I will also enjoy using the Krampus and Old Busker liqueurs in some creative ways. Now the food and cocktails. I want to come up with some reason to hold an event here so I can let others experience the flavors and presentations offered. You can tell the chef used to do over the top events in Vegas, baby ! Perfect shareables for any group. My new obsession is the tarragon mustard served with the charcuterie, and addicting herbed Parmesan bread twists. I cannot wait to return for the dishes I did not try. The cocktails are great, and go very well with the food. I loved my Whiskey Sour! Each member of the team, from tour to bartenders to servers, know their stuff and take real pride in attending to you. Congratulations to all and thank you for bringing all this joy to our town!
