We stopped into this winery on a Saturday afternoon. There was one other group already there,…read moresitting at a table inside tasting wines with the owner. We were warmly greeted and the owner was friendly and very knowledgeable. He restored the winery/stagecoach stop himself (he even shared before pictures) and makes the wine himself from the old recipes from the area, and from the fruits of the area (except for the lemons, which come from Arizona). The wines were unique and very good. Prior to this, I had never had rhubarb wine or a wine made from multiflora roses. Both were heavenly, and neither of us tasted a wine there that we felt wasn't good. The building itself is very neat and has much of its original charm, including the original windows. There are a few nice outdoor seating areas and a nice garden, as well. Know before you go: This place only accepts cash or check. There is an ATM down the road in a local bar.

I had the brisket sandwich which was good, but would be better not as a sandwich. Our server was great and attentive. The ambiance is a bit different as there are a handful of plastic folding tables as seating options. The bar area is nice but not a lot of tables or seating options. Located on the river there is seating when the weather is nice and a good outdoor ambiance. It's a nice country drive if you are looking for a summer roadtrip.

Stopped in for drinks as this has been on my radar since seeing the bar online. Our party of 4 was…read morevery disappointed. The vibe and atmosphere was nothing like expected. Music blasted making conversation non existent. Service was lackluster. If you were not a regular, you basically did not exist. Margarita was a minus ten, and that is being kind. I give kudos for the games on the side room.....nice touch but nothing else makes you want to stay to play the games. Needs some guidance and hands on ownership to run this place around as I see potential.

It happened again! Started out at the Lost Duck for dinner. The place was empty save for our party…read moreof two and one other table I think. We waited a while for menus and when I asked the waiter how long the merlot had been open, he said "a couple weeks", with a shrug. I was certain that I would not be drinking there and probably no food either. I asked if he would be willing to open a new bottle and his response was direct and to the point, which I appreciated. Nope, he wouldn't and since it was Sutter Home, how good would it be anyway? We were welcome to go somewhere else. We did! Went to the Fort Diner and had a great! Cheap! Cajun! Burger! Great service, lots of friendly personality at the grill and I'll go back again! Any day! Thank you for the meal!

Lost Bear is a drive through café and they do a great job! I've gotten my usual flat whites here (2…read moreshots of espresso and steamed milk with a little sweetener) and they've been super strong and tasty, just the way I like it. I also tried their chai tea latte on another visit but it was too sweet for my liking. So if you prefer less sweet drinks, you'll have to customize your order. Highly recommend Lost Bear if you enjoy a strong cuppa joe. This cute and quaint little café is not one to miss.

We ordered a latte and cold brew - can't go wrong. I enjoyed my latte. We'll be back!!read more
