The ambiance was lovely and they let us select where to sit which I very much appreciated.

Also: incredible views of the vineyard through their open back area. All the wines are dangerously drinkable.

Definitely one of the more memorable and quirky stops we made. Come for the wine, stay for the stories and energy.

If you wanted to just taste a sip of wine, I'm not sure how that works. I am into sweeter whites these days, and the four I tried did not disappoint. I had riesling (good but not extraordinary), Lost Irishman, Seneca Steamer (I enjoyed these both equally), and Viva (sparkling). The ambiance is the best part - the patio overlooking the lake is lovely. We enjoyed our wine while taking in the scenery. We purchased two bottles of wine and one hard cider, and they were all $19, The bathroom could use an update, but that was my only quibble.
