This place is 100% a passion project/labor of love run by two of the most lovely, interesting people you will ever meet. The tasting room is in a hidden little alcove off Main Street, their hours are ??? (Saturday seems most reliable) and they don't charge for tastings except the port. There's nowhere else in Murphy's that does a full-gamut port tasting as far as I'm aware, and it's incredible. If you have never tasted a delicious, mystifying port while the (French) winemaker and his (German) wife pop quiz you about the tasting notes with expectant, mischievous expressions, you haven't really lived. They also make the best Viognier in town by a massive margin (it tastes like flowers and stonefruit without being sweet at all and I compare every other Viognier to this now). I've taken my mom here. I've taken my grandparents here. I've taken all my friends here. If I'm in Murphy's with someone who has never been here, I assume it is my duty to spread the good word, and now I'm spreading it to Yelp too.

I visit the tasting room in Murphy's in the courtyard and be sure to try all of the ports as they are the best of all anywhere that I have tasted ports.

Matthew Gibson needs to become a major name in the field of wine making. With his first wine…read moretasting room located in the tony hamlet of the Sutter Creek, which is in the direct line of the Shenandoah Valley in Amador County in the Sierra Nevada foothills, he and his winery is well on its way. I spent the day getting to know winemaker Matthew Gibson and his wife Kim, who serves as his operations manager. Gibson starting his life in the banking industry, then moved to a legal career, and finally ending up in Lodi to realize his passion for winemaking. He settled in Gold Country because it reminded him of what Napa used to represent in the seventies, rich in character not to mention terroir. They only opened their tasting room just a year and a half ago, but have been producing small lot premium artisan crafted wines for their label for a number of years. He planted his grapes back in 2006 and now he's celebrated eight years of vintages. They're proud to feature all natural wines at Matthew Gibson Winery, as they don't use tarteric acid, like many other wineries tend to use. Gibson's goal is to grow his grapes and let them sit there to make Mother Nature do the rest. They have high density vineyards with over three thousand acres and everything they make they use for their own label which is rare in this industry. At Gibson, they like to focus on all reds as Matthew basically makes what he likes to drink. Today, I sampled four pours of their 2012 Estate Primitivo, 2013 Estate Syrah, 2013 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, and Matthew's favorite their unique 2014 Nebbiolo, which despite it being a red was light and fruity and featured plenty of tannins. All four wines would pair nicely with any charcuterie, cheese, or artisan bread platter at your next party. In fact, Gibson prides himself on his wines having an abundance of tannins on the nose because how his grapes are grown affects how the way his wine is made. Gibson told me that he tries to make good wines as they are truly his babies. I was so enamored with my experience that I knew I had to make a purchase because who knows when I would get the chance to make another appearance here in Gold Country to sample and mull another purchase of these unique wines. So the vintage Cabernet Sauvignon was the one I went with and I could not be more pleased. This is a bottle I am going to cherish, not unlike how owner Gibson cherishes his babies, I will cherish this experience for years to come.

On a perfect fall day, I was in town helping out with the big Yelp event series in town and was fortunate to pop into this winery in between events. From the minute we walked in they took great care of us, never let us have an empty glass, had palate cleansing snacks available, and were great to chat with. Their vineyard is right down the road, which is always cool. I wish I could comment on the wines we tried but since it's been a month I'd be doing a disservice trying to remember all the details. The good news is that they will absolutely have you walking out like a aficionado after walking you through the tastings. Wonderful spot, and if it weren't for TSA rules I'd have grabbed a few bottles of this to take back to the midwest.

Not only was he welcoming, kind and courteous, he was also knowledgeable of the area, and why shouldn't he be as he has been there more than a decade. This is a secret hideaway and the secret spot you always dream of when looking for that quiet cozy "getaway from it all" winery. It's a tiny gem in a small town where, if you blink, you'll miss it...Don't blink! Do yourselves a favor and stop at this winery, sit down on Andrew's front patio and relish in his delicious rendition of flavorful wines. We were lucky to taste a new wine from a new to me grape; Mission. I had never heard of this grape in my life but I found the wine to be fruit forward and a little peppery with rich robust raisin. Very easy on the pallet. We ended up tasting and purchasing the Dry Moscato and the Zinfandel. They Dry Moscato because it was honestly, DELECTABLE, fruit forward but not sweet, thankfully. YUMMMM!! The Zinfandel was also very fruit forward and a perfect 14.7 percent alc, bought one of these too. Andrew, thank you for your warm hospitality and casual demeanor for these two strangers that showed up without a reservation. Maravioso!!
