Even as you approach, if feels unreal because it is pretty much two buildings - a metal winery building and a small tasting room. Upon entering, we were met by the two owners. We had made a reservation, which is required, because it is so small. The only foods are pizzas that are premade that they then cooked. We did not have one, but they actually looked good. Tastings are for any 4 wines on their by the glass list. My wife and I did 8 total, sharing each one. Without a doubt, this was the absolute best wine we tasted on our day at three wineries. We very much liked all five of the reds that we sampled. We especially liked the Uva Vinum and brought some home. We also very much liked the Sod Buster. The white and rose were good, just nothing we would bring home. The owners were friendly and enthusiastic and very informative. So, overall, very very good wine, fun out of the way location, sensational service and information.

This winery's aging approach enhances their product.

I'd highly recommend doing a wine flight--it's only $20 and a great way to try a variety of their wines. I tend to prefer sweeter wines, and the Silver Comet was my favorite by far. The Grande Finale was also really good and worth trying.
