I like this place. The setting reminds me of a brewery, where you're cool to stand around with a pint in your hand. The people are chill and you can hear Band of Horses playing in the background. I dig it. But instead, you have a glass of wine because you fancy.
We visited Simpatico Cellars, our last stop of the day, and it was a fun place to hang out. The tasting room was pretty lively and busy, which we didn't mind. The room is on the smaller side, with a few tables set up. Fortunately, we found a table by the window.
We each had a flight, with five different tastings: a white, rose and three reds. The rose was really nice, as it was more dry, which I prefer in a rose. But my favorite wine was the Coalesce, a bordeaux-style red that was bold and rich in flavor. I would definitely get this again, and recommend anyone who likes reds to try this gem.
Staff was very friendly. We had no idea they were closed when we left, only realizing that we overstayed once we saw him turn off the lights and close the blinds soon after we walked out the door. The employee never rushed us out, allowing us to hang out. Simpatico is a laid-back spot with wines worth exploring. read more
