The two stars is NOT for the piano player Pierson Keating, who is great, for whom I would give 5 Stars. For clarification I have had a total of 3 glasses of wine since noon and it's currently 7 o'clock and I am writing this review as I am leaving. I have a strong understanding of TABC rules and regulations, and this question was misplaced and pretty rude. Pierson, the pianist, asked my group to sing a song we requested because he was unsure of the lyrics, then the staff asked the group to sit down. Not sure if this place is catered to the older crowd or just not accustomed to having girls who like to have a good time, but I wouldn't come back here if you payed me. Staff 2.7/10. Food 6.7/10.

We had reservations for a wine and chocolate tasting. I highly recommend making a reservation vs just showing up. There was indoor and outdoor seating. It was hot so sitting inside was perfect.

We bought a bag of Torres truffle chips and were obsessed! I would definitely come back to this winery,

One step on this locale and you might want to take up permanent residence. Defined by scenic…read morelandscapes, rolling hills, and the gentle sounds of a breeze through the trees, the peaceful atmosphere for this family estate is quite appealing. The Signor's and Weisinger's have not only had a rich history of farming in the state but have also ventured into winemaking. Already seasoned stewards of the land, they knew quite well the rewards of hard work and patience. The Weisinger family began their winemaking journey in Oregon's Rogue Valley region before collaborating with their Signor friends. Situated on a bluff between the Pedernales and Grape Creek River, the current site on HWY 290 was acquired in 2010 with vines planted in 2015. The following year, they opened a tasting room. The estate grows 7 red varietals across two dozen acres: Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional, Tannat, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese, Malbec, and Montepulciano. Additionally, they source grapes from vineyards near Fort Davis. The Member's tasting room is quite beautiful and truly stunning. Its décor just blends right into the landscape. Adjacent to that is an expansive outdoor patio. There are outside tasting tables on the patio with scenic views. The other enclosed tasting room is the harvest room with large indoor seating with views of the vineyard. Michael Barton has been leading their winemaking, adding his special touch of greatness to these wines. Starting off with the '20 Sauvignon Blanc, this wine was sourced from Oregon's Rouge Valley which was quite aromatic with kiwi and passionfruit notes. The 2nd white was the '23 Chardonnay. Also sourced from Rogue Valley, citrus notes were pronounced followed by pears. The23 'Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This' was an interesting Muscat blend. It was sourced from Texas Hill Country fruit with 25% each of Marsanne and Roussanne in addition to Muscat. It was quite a treat to have with honeysuckle and peach notes. For their Rosé wine, the '24 Rose of Mourvèdre was sampled. This Texas High Plains fruit had strawberry and melon notes. Moving on to the reds, the first one to try was the '22 Sangiovese with fruit from the High Plains. It poured a light red hue with herbal notes and good acids. Following that one was the '21 Dolcetto. This red wine with grapes sourced from the Rogue Valley expressed itself as light bodied with cherry notes. The '23 High Plains Tempranillo had a good balance of oak with dark berries and a dash of pepper. Cab Franc lovers never fear, their '21 Rogue Valley bottle was wonderful - spice, pepper and a rich deep feel. The Hudspeth County '23 Petit Verdot was next. This West Texas sourced beast was rich and bold with dark cherries, a touch of cocoa, and just the right level of tannins. The '22 Touriga was sipped and savored too - a smooth red wine with a classic strong nose, black pepper and excellent tannins. Next was the '21 Mozzafiato. This blend of Barbera, Primitivo, Sangiovese, and Dolcetto (Rogue Valley) was well balanced with a lingering feel. For the the '21 Estate Tannat, this big bold red envelops your palate with that full mouth feel of rich dark cherries and medium tannins. Finally, the '22 Grand Pere was poured. This mighty red wine was blended with equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc (Rogue Valley). It had beautiful notes of blackberries and plums, plus a nice balance making this wine quite versatile. Every wine on the wine tasting menu, (and a few unlisted) was simply fantastic! There is more that could be said about their history, initiatives, and of course the quality of wine here, but that should be saved for a future mini novel. The staff provided top service, offering guidance throughout each wine tasting session. Do check out Joanna's Market as well, which is in a classic farmhouse style home. There is an onsite kitchen offering a variety of options, but do try their famous Pozole. Your visit will impress you and leave you looking forward to a return stop again soon. Cheers!

I had a group visiting from California and they wanted to visit both the California wineries here in Texas, as well as some of the Texas wineries that buy 100% Texas Grapes. During our Main Street tour, we stopped in for a tasting after visiting another 290 winery just down from you. The experience couldn't have been more different. They had a blast and the staff shared her experience/knowledge about her personal favorite wineries in the area. I am partial to William & Chris, Ron Yates, Adega Vinho, Ferris & Fletch, Becker, and Kalasi. However, she recommended several that I hadn't tried or at least not recently. Having individuals in the group that like sweet wines, she knew exactly where to send them. Personally, I tried several dry wines that I really enjoyed. If you have not tried Fat Ass recently or better yet, since the new ownership, I encourage you to drop in for a tasting.

As the sun got more intense in our outdoor space, we asked if we could bring little Tinker indoors. They said 'yes'. They were so kind about it. It helps that Tinker is a small dog and super friendly and a non-barker. Joslyn was our server and she was very kind and helpful.
