The winds were absolutely delicious. I wish we had more time at this location because there was so much more to taste it and they were willing to give us additional tastes. I did buy three bottles to take home and I can't wait to enjoy them.

They offer a few different tastings, we went with the $5 13 wine and cheese tasting. Perfect timing between a big breakfast and a planned fancy dinner that night (yup, cheese and wine for lunch). It was really relaxed low pressure tasting while seated in air con. We really liked all the semillon and chardonnay, the cheese plate was basic but tasty. A cute thing is that they have postcard size cards with a recipe pairing for each of their wines, make sure to grab one if you buy a bottle. Also, the bathrooms were immaculate.

I visited a total of three wineries on my day trip to Hunter Valley, and this one was probably my…read morefavorite. The space is beautiful, with an open and airy tasting room overlooking the vast vineyard (one of the few wineries in the area that grows its own grapes). There's a little something different about the wines here--the flavors are something of their own. I brought back a bottle of their oaked semillon, which was light and refreshing and stored in California Oak barrels (I'd get the same thing back here in CA if I could, but you certainly don't see a lot of semillon around here), as well as a bottle of their shiraz, which had a peppery kick to it. The lady who led us through the tastings (we had come with a tour group) was very sweet and seemed to love her job. We ended our visit with a tour of the wine cellar and the lovely outdoor area of the building, which reminded me of being in Tuscany but is apparently modeled after Southern Spain. I loved all the little details of the decor. Definitely worth stopping at!

We've been drinking Brokenwood chardonnays for many years, always disappointed that the only…read moreBrookenwood that makes it into the U.S. is their Cricket Pitch, which I don't care for. So this is our #1 wine to bring back from Australia visits and the wine we drink almost daily when in New South Wales. So a visit here is required when in the Hunter Valley. And we did come away with a case and a half of wine. But... The snotty little bitch perched and immovable behind the cash register should give up any plans for a career in retailing. Maybe any plans for any career. Find a rich husband and leech off him, or maybe Daddy owns the winery. No, that's not likely - she wouldn't be working in the tasting room if he did. The older lady, who took care of our tasting, was fine. But when she told me about a "special" on cases of their chardonnay, I did a quick calculation and told her I'd bought it cheaper at a bottle shop in the Northern Beaches of Sydney. She said she'd match that price. Then snotty bitch started typing on her computer and advised me that I was wrong, I didn't get it at that price and couldn't have it now at that price. I named the shop and when I'd bought the wine, off an end cap display twice a week apart. She several times over told me I was a liar and it couldn't be. I almost left empty handed I was so pissed, but we wanted a few other wines that are only available at the cellar door. Snotty bitch finally acknowledged that the price I got was the price that retailer paid for the wine, so maybe I did get it at that price. By then I was avoiding any conversation with her and focusing on the lady helping us. I'll be back. With the knowledge that by the next time snotty bitch will have found work matching her personality.
