So got 2 bottles of wine, they were both gifts and was dying to try them. Tonight we retried the…read morepetite Shiraz. I'm a huge fan of petite Shiraz and this was incredible!! First we decanter it and let it breathe after aerating it. Nothing can compliment a good filet mignon like a good bottle of petite Shiraz. This is now on my list of must have! Smooth. Just a hint of earthy. No pepper or tannins (two of my least favorites in wines). This is a bottle of wine you can enjoy alone or with a meal. It's just very clean and well composed, like the notes to a favorite song! My soon to be daughter in law loves the wine too!! We have been looking for a good wine to put in the wedding venue to serve at the big day with a great dinner. We found it.

Another place I've been driving past for years, but never stopped in. However, the tasting room…read morehours now extend to 5pm in the spring and summer. A bad ski day ended early, and I found myself cruising by at 4. Note: you enter through the gate, which is hard to figure out if you don't naturally think in "yards" when reading roadside signs. The Greenstone wines are made from a mix of grapes grown on-site and those from other Amador regions. An excellent Petite Syrah (2001), loaded with flavor, texture, and finish, was memorable and as good as some of the Livermore Valley offerings, and surprisingly inexpensive. The Sangiovese, only brought out because a club member requested it, had the right flavor profile and a taste that should really develop well with a little aging, or maybe some decanting and aeration. They also sold a sweet Zinfandel port, which went well with the free chocolate. Like many foothills wines, the smells were unique, sometimes odd, often aggressive, but always interesting. Napa, Sonoma, and Livermore all have uniform regional smells, while up here you'll discover new sensory experiences. Prices ranged in the $10s and $20s, with several bottles on sale. I bought the Sangiovese and the Petite Syrah. I'm going to grab more of the latter on my next trip to the mountains. UPDATED: you know, this place is growing on me now that I've cracked the bottles I brought home. The Sangiovese, with food, was a great dry Chianti-style wine, and the Petite Syrah, at the existing price point, is quite caseworthy. They are currently (4/27) doing a closeout sale on the 2001's and I stocked up for pennies on the dollar. Buy a case. REUPDATED: Check out the Chalaye and "R" blends. A little mixing of the sometimes rowdy Foothills varietals makes for a smoother, richer red.

I haven't tasted their wines yet, but I can tell you the Sales and Marketing person is very rude.read more

Stopped in at this winery that I've been noticing every day on my commute out of Escalon and a little upset I didn't stop sooner. We were immediately greeted by one of the stewards the second we walked up to the door. He greeted us with warmth and great enthusiasm. When we entered we couldn't help but notice the beautiful architecture of the buildings and the rustic decor. It gave off a great amount of warmth mixed with some extra coziness. We decided to sit inside although the fire pits outside beckoned my name for future visits. They had a great selection of wines and the stewards were all very welcoming and knowledgeable. Lisa was amazing and so very attentive to us the entire time. We loved that you could also visit the onsite market to grab items to munch on. You can personalize your own charcuterie board to enjoy with your wine. We loved our visit here so much that we decided to become members and will definitely be making many more visits ahead! We tasted, we loved, we committed!
