    Went on a wine tasting tour of Alexander Valley with the specific goal of joining another wine club, and researched wineries with sustainability as a priority.  I am giving this four stars for the wine, and we did join the wine club as a result.  For the price, the wine is a five star; for any price, four.  The tasting room is beautiful, as is the landscaping. Grapes mostly grown in a hot area of the valley, leading to great tasting wine, even with a non-notable vintner.

    For the bad news, the customer service was AWFUL, as described below in several reviews.  I will admit that by the time we got there, we may have been a little tipsie, however, as a group of (at least in our minds) still hip fifty year old women, we expected not to be ignored or treated like we didn't belong there. The young, hip, snobbish women working the tasting room should probably realize that fifty year old women rolling up in a chartered Navigator are exactly the people likely to be dropping a lot of cash at a winery and joining a wine club, just saying.  I guess that making money is not a priority for this winery, given that it's owned by hedge fund managers.  Still, it would be great if they could have their wine room experience match their wine, which was REALLY, REALLY good for the price.  Go there for the wine, but be prepared for the bad service!

    This is kind of a hidden gem in Alexander Valley. If you don't know it, it's hard to spot, so you should be thankful to Yelp. They have great wines, super friendly service, a lovely patio in the back and cheese and crackers to pair with the wine. Definitely a place to stop by.

    Sounds like the same jerk as described below was there a year ago.  My wife and I were traveling through Napa and Sonoma -- I was wine tasting, she was the designated driver.  The place was empty, but we had heard good things about the wine.  The guy there said they weren't accepting the Visa Signature deal, but would give me two tastings for the price of one -- as I said, my wife wasn't drinking, and I'm not sure tasting through about a dozen wines or more would treat my head well later in the day -- so we left. What a business model!

    the property was quaint and beautiful, but the staff was unfortunately, very rude to us.

    we had the groupon for a wine flight and food pairing a while back and were very disappointed with the experience. the pours we received were not much more than 3 drops of wine each and it seemed very unorganized. we weren't given any direction on how to pair the food with each wine. we were treated as if we didn't deserve to be there.

    the speakeasy bar seemed really cool but we didn't stay to find out since the rest of the experience kind of bummed us out.

    i will give this place a second chance someday, and hopefully by then they will have improved their customer relations.

    Because it was Easter and most places in Sonoma were closed, we decided to check this place out. I also was a Visa Signature member so this place was SUPPOSED to give out complimentary wine tastings. WRONG. They did not honor their deal, so be aware of that before coming out. I knew it was going to be bad from the start after that shocker.

    In terms of service, completely agree with the post by Kathleen, most likely the same guy. Very arrogant and was exactly as she described. He would pour a tiny amount of wine and head straight back to the computer. The only times he would move on to the next glass was when my glass was completely empty and I was tapping my glass. (Sad because we were the only ones there). This kind of garbage service needs to be read. Sonoma valley has over 250 vineyards, step it up.

    Unfortunately, our experience at Medlock Ames was not anything what the other reviewers have written. I found this winery when I bought a groupon coupon for a Wine Flight and Food Pairing for Two.  The tasting room itself was very cool, but the service we got was not. The service we got was terrible...that is the only word I can use to describe it.  The staff member poured the wine, told us a little bit about it, and walked away...usually back to the office where the computer was.  We had to ask him if we were done at the end of the tasting.  We did not know anything about the speak easy until some of the locals told us about.   I understand that we got the groupon rate, but those coupons do bring people to the winery, and the staff is still representing the winery.  Good customer service brings folks back. If the tasting and food pairing that we got is what you would normally pay $80 for, way over priced.

    This is a great place for wines that you want that are as close to organic as possible.  They have a nice arrangement of different types of wines, even a nice Pinot that is interesting to taste and will satisfy anyone who likes pinot.  The two hidden gems of this place besides the nice layout of the tasting room is perfect for a late afternoon picnic, is the bar and the woodfire pizzas.  contact them on when they will fire that bad boy up because those pizzas make Italy tremble.  Additionally, if you want to hang out for a bit, especially in the mid to late summer, this place has a full bar that you can enjoy with friends for most and let the DD sober up for the drive home.  Surely a place for me to visit often.   HINT HINT, great spots inside and out for dates to.

    Came here on the Saturday after thanksgiving with 12 of us.  It was a special wine weekend, and for $20 you got to visit 6 wineries and taste 3 or so wines from each.  We began our adventure at Medlock Ames, and it was my favorite.  The wines were good and the staff was fine (not amazing, not bad).  With 12 people in 3 cars coordination was key to make sure we all enjoyed our winery trip.  We picked up sandwiches on our way to Healdsburg and were able to sit out in the beautiful garden amoung all of the beautiful produce and enjoy our wine and food and the company of our party.

    I've been hearing from so many people that Napa is overdone. As a result, we decided to head to Sonoma to Healdsburg, which was a lot less packed and commercial than Napa. We stopped in to Medlock Ames because my aunt and uncle met the manager awhile back.

    This place is such a hidden gem! I almost don't want to write such a glowing review because I don't want people to discover it and hog it from me when I go up north. I think the thing I loved the most about Medlock Ames is that in front of the tasting room is a garden in which they grow tons of yummy things like multiple types of basil and such. It was so cool to see the bartender go to the garden and pick mint for that evening's mojitos.

    The wine is good, too. Probably one of the best Sauv Blancs I've ever had and I used to swear by Cakebread. I think they have food but if I recall, you have to make a reservation in order to get food. We were able to grab cheese and a baguette and make our own little picnic with a bottle of their Sauv Blanc.

    The service was great and the wine was outstanding. Sadly I can't get their wine in SoCal, so I'll kindly persuade my relatives to send me some..

    How can I try something new when this place is around?

    i bought a gilt city coupon for a tour and tasting at the winery (not the tasting room).  the grounds are gorgeous, and our group got a tour of all the barrels and vines.  it was pretty awesome.  after the tour, we sat down to boxed lunches from jimtown, which were yummy.

    the winery is kind of hard to get to and not usually open to the public, but you can always just go to the tasting room, which is really nice and modern.  unfortunately the bar wasn't open yet when we were there, but i would like to try it next time.

    This perhaps one of the coolest tasting rooms in all of California. The lighting, the bar, the outdoor patio area, the tasting staff... and oh, I almost forgot, the wine, make for a great tasting experience... Medlock Ames is producing some amazing wines... the Cab's are really delicious. If you go, ask for John; he's from the area and quite the host.

    After a long Alexander Valley bike ride, we stopped to rest and lo' and behold! A cocktail sign only visible from the back of the building pointing to a hidden hypothecary! Nice, a gem in the middle of the valley en route to great food in Geyserville.

    After a LOOOONG day of Healdsburg touristy tasting venues, Medlock Ames is a breath of fresh air. If you are tired of flashy tourist traps and ate interested in quality wine, try Medlock Ames and ask for Kelly Ann...She rocks!

    I love this place! At 5pm the tasting room closes down and the bar opens up.  The staff are all fantastic and make the most amazing cocktails! You have to check out "Margarita Mondays!!!" $5 Margaritas!  So Yummy!  But beware- They are strong!  These ladies don't mess around! :)

    This is absolutely worth the drive to visit!!

    Surprisingly excellent wine. Every wine I tried, both white and red, was great and this is probably one of the best wineries I have tried in the valley.

    I went for their wine and food pairings and lets just say the food was meager and not even large enough to call an appetizer. The types of cheese they used were excellent but not worth the money to try this pairing again. I was a little disappointed with their facilities, most of the vineyards surrounding this corner tasting room were owned by other vineyards. The garden tour wasn't much of a tour and not really worth the time to take.

    The best part of the tour was the tour of their 20's style parlor room which is attached to the tasting room. On weekend nights I was told that they have live bands that play there and they also have a fully stocked bar with fresh herbs they get from their garden. Plus they have a photo booth!  I would love to come back to attend a concert or go to one of their pizza events where they make fresh pizza outside.

    John who pours there is awesome and had lots of good recommendations of places to eat and drink the rest of our trail.

    Free tastings with visa signature card, $10 otherwise.

    Awesome tasting room, and a very cool story behind Medlock Ames, an organic vineyard that uses forces of nature over machinery to cultivate their grapes.

    The bar that opens each night after the tasting room closes is really cool. We were able to take a peek after our tasting and I would have loved to get back for a drink but we didn't have the time.

    As for the wine itself? Wanted to love it but just didn't. Maybe it was the selection that day that I didn't love. Also, we had a voucher for a VIP tasting from our hotel, which came with some complimentary cheese/salami to go along with the wines. Unfortunately, the little bites were just not that great, and the crostini some of the cheese was served on was totally stale. Earlier in the week we had visited another tasting room that offered a similar mini pairing that was far superior (plus it was complimentary to everyone, not part of a special package).

    I'd definitely return for a drink in the cocktail bar, but maybe not for a tasting.

    Eco-Friendly business that has a wonderful staff, super chic tasting room and wine made from organic grapes! Once again, h2 hooked us up with a complimentary VIP tasting at another winery, which happened to be Medlock Ames.

    When we drove up, the place looked like a big shed to me, with a gravel parking lot and driveway. Once you walk around to the front, and through their very simple patio... the space inside looks much different. There is an area that looks like an island bar in the middle of the room, with these funky "Thomas Edison" light bulbs lined up above it, and attached with what looked like old plumbing pipes.

    There are huge, pictures on the walls of the owners-- apparently one of them is the grape specialist, while the other is the finance & business guy who took it upon himself to invest in Medlock Ames Wine. The back patio/ outdoor area is groomed nicely with bushes, gravel and little picnic tables and is visible from the tasting area through large glass doors.

    There are also a few booths and tables in the tasting room to order tapas, lunch or food pairings with the wine. We opted for a straight up wine tasting instead--there were some good choices; we left with their 2006 Red and a few others.

    One thing that we heard at Spoon Bar-- is this place actually has it's own bar as well, it's where a lot of the locals hang out, and they throw awesome outside concerts in the summer! If you're near Alexander Valley this is a cool spot to stop in-- especially because they're an eco-friendly green business--gotta support the cause!

    I really wanted to like this place based on the amazing story and beautiful poster art as well as the gardens but after being repeatedly ignored I have to vote "NO."
    I understand that we were tasting on a Sunday so we were okay with having to wait for wines and okay with busy but this place only had two other couples tasting so there was no excuse.
    Wendy barely said word one to us so we decided to share a flight so as to fly sooner ourselves. I'll be honest, I don't even remember how the wines tasted (and I wouldn't be able to name them since Wendy poured twice without telling us what she was pouring) but the lack of service left a sour taste in my mouth. Wendy chatted up a woman who was already in the process of buying wine and completely left our glass dry for upwards of 5 minutes at a time. When she finally did get around to pouring for us that's all she did, no explanation, no tasting notes, just a quick pour so she could return to her conversation.

    Tasting Room staff is supposed to be friendly to everyone, not just the people they think will buy, the sad part is, I wanted to buy a bottle just so I could have one of their bottles, it had a cool logo.

    Walk into the tasting room, and three words to describe it - spacious, trendy, and hip. What other place in Healdsburg have this? Only at Medlock Ames! Bring your girlfriends, bring your friend, bring your family, bring everyone you know cause, yes, Medlock Ames can fit everyone and anyone in their tasting room.

    Not only does Medlock Ames does really well on fitting people in their spacious room, but also it's pretty "cool" to hang out here. Decor, wow, decor, old-fashioned lamps and lights, really cool seating under a lamp - it's a dark and gloomy feel, yet it brings out a hipster feel... making us all looking cool and awesome!

    So, how about the wine?

    Oh, yes... wine tasting... that's what I came for! Each tasting, from memory, about $15-20, which is pretty much average compare to other places.

    (1) Pinto Noir: 4 stars.

    (2) Cabs: there were Cabs. My friend enjoyed the cabs a lot. 5 stars.

    (3) Merlot: I enjoyed the Merlot. 4 stars.

    No Zins?

    **OVERALL: Definitely come back for some more wine and a tour around the winery! 4 stars!

    This place is okay. We've been twice. First time, the service was bad but the wine was good. Almost two years later, the service was good but the wines were bad. I don't know what happened, if they had a bad vintage they were pouring, but it just wasn't for my palate. The guy serving us was very nice and did a great job, but I just couldn't get past the wine not tasting good. Sorry!!

    First off, this place is very trendy and chic. I love the decor and would come here just for this.

    Secondly, the wine is not up to pair with the rest of Russian River Valley. I would say come here if you want to chill in a cool spot, but if you are looking for fantastic wine then I would try a different winery.

    Good marketing

    Medlock Ames is one of my favorite spots in Healdsburg, especially on a nice day. They have a great tasting room, and one of the only full bars in Healdsburg (at a winery).

    The best move is to go with a big group for a later tasting. Both times I've gone they had a band, fire pit, assorted food trucks and amazing patrons. The staff is extremely thoughtful and remembered us from the first time.

    Phenomenal wine!
    Enjoyed a glass of the Bell Mountain Ranch 2007 Red with dinner and was moved to visit the local winery that produced that perfect red wine. The wines are exceptional due to the lovingly nurtured vines and environmentally sustainable production. Sommeliers were friendly and accommodating. The vineyard is in a beautiful, peaceful land.
    Would love to return for the occasional pizza picnic hosted by the winery.

    Pretty cool winery... major points for being "different". It's hipster vibe and full bar set it apart from other wineries in the area. There's a bunch of tables to hang at while you drink, a fun old-fashioned photo booth, and nice patio/garden area. Definitely a good place to go wine tasting if you are with some people who aren't winos (if there is such a thing?).

    Rolled into Medlock Ames when we had some extra time between appointments. The building seems to be newly renovated and the adjoining property is gorgeous. There's tables that overlook a small vegetable garden, olive trees, and vineyards. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed chatting with our pourer.

    They offer 3 flights, a general flight, an all-red flight and a Cab Sauv flight, that range from $10-25 per tasting.  We got the general & the Cab Sauv flights. We ended up trying a Sauv Blanc, Chardonnay, 2 Merlots, a red blend and a bunch of Cab Sauvs from various years. The whites were decent but not in the style I prefer. The reds generally had nice noses but often lacked in the flavor department. They weren't bad but at $35+ a bottle, I did not consider a purchase.

    This particular area of the wine country is arguably one of my favorite places on earth, so I'm a bit biased. But when I stumbled upon this place, I found a new reason to celebrate and I definitely agree with the headline in Food & Wine Magazine -  Medlock Ames Winery IS nirvana in Sonoma.

    Everything about it is über hip but with a small-town vibe firmly intact. A virtual feast for the wine/food/design lover that I am. We had the pleasure of a private tasting in the "speakeasy" portion of the tasting room, the original location of the century-old Alexander Valley General Store, and by the time it was over I was ready to move in.

    A low production winery, fewer than 5000 cases per year, deep-seated in organic and sustainable practices with style and good taste at every turn. A few of the highlights include: they pair their tastings with Bellwether Farms cheeses and homemade chutneys, they churn out 50+ hand-crafted pizzas from their wood-burning oven every Saturday, they make good use of the fresh ingredients from the breathtaking grounds and gardens in artisan cocktails, oils and preserves and the wine is good, very good.

    I'm a new fan of their 2009 Chardonnay - "Balanced by minerality, this is a wine of great structure and poise."

    Ahh...nirvana indeed!

    I got the Travelzoo voucher for the wine tasting, 30 minute tour of the grounds, and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.

    We were never offered a tour, but were told we were welcome to walk around the property.

    I don't drink wine, so the wife did all the tasting.  She liked some of them, and really liked one or two.  They also gave us a Rose' tasting, which was not part of the deal.

    There was cheese and stuff on a plate.  I had a bite of the salame-type item.  It was okay.  Nothing special.

    The lady who served us was informative and friendly enough.
    She suggested a place for lunch, which turned out to be overpriced and disappointing, but I won't blame her for that.

    Overall, the wife enjoyed herself, the grounds were nice, the drive was easy (from RP), the server was well-informed and friendly, and some of the wine was very good, according to the wife.

    I don't see how it was worth $79 regularly (Two $10 tastings, and a bottle of wine priced at $35, so the cheese & salame was worth $24???), but it was worth the $29 I paid.

    We were staying in Napa so Alexander Valley is almost an 1.5 hour drive on Highway 29. I got the Travelzoo voucher for the wine tasting, 30 minutes tour of the grounds, and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. And it was so worth it despite the loooong drive.

    I am reviewing the tasting room only since the estate (which is located on the same lot) is not opened to the public. The tasting room is quaint and I love that they grow their own veggies and herbs.

    Breakdown --
    Wine Tasting: I really enjoyed it the wine tasting accompanied by the appropriate food bite. The salami was so good and my boyfriend and I headed to the salami place right after wine tasting. And I really enjoyed their Cabernet here. We had a wine tasting on the patio and it was just a lovely morning.

    Tour & Service: The staff were nice and informative. I very much appreciated the time they took to answer our questions and gave us a history of the Medlock and Ames (two college roommates). And I definitely admire the philosophy of being sustainable and giving back to the environment. And if they ever officially start using the pizza oven, I will be the first to go!

    Overall - I bought the Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 and from what I've heard Alexander Valley produces some great Cab. Love the food and wine pairing -- just a delicious start to the day. And beautiful grounds. I would love to come back to visit the bar next door -- just a great old world feel.

    We decided to hold our rehearsal dinner at Medlock Ames after stopping by for a glass of wine while out researching venues for the dinner. We walked in, admired the grounds - which are gorgeous - and then grew even more smitten after sampling the wine and talking with the fantastic staff. When we peeked at the bar next door where you can grab a cocktail AND pose for a few photos in the photo booth, we knew we'd found our place.

    Not only were our guests blown away by the setting - watching the sun go down from a chair on their patio is fantastic - they were treated like family by the staff. From the moment we booked, the staff at Medlock were on hand to answer all our questions, and they even took the reins when it came to organizing all of our tableware and set-up (Thanks, Hannah!). For smaller events, they'll cater using the veggies they grow and the pizza oven on the premises. Because we had a larger event (75 people), they allowed us to bring in our own caterer.

    Our guests were greeted with Medlock wine, dined al fresco at picnic tables, were able to mill about and check out the view, and finished up with cocktails and cupcakes in the bar. We set out hoping for a relaxed evening amongst our nearest and dearest and we got even more. Having our event at Medlock was like sharing dinner with our loved ones in our own backyard. Perfect!

    Friendly and informative staff, nice wines, and beautiful property.  Tip: call ahead to make a reservation to sit out on the patio for your tastings.  Unfortunately, we didn't know this so we just had our tastings inside at the bar.

    Overall, I think Medlock Ames is worth a stop if you are planning a trip to Alexander Valley (& especially if you are taking a look at the Visa Signature list of participating wineries and trying to decide where to go).  We liked Medlock Ames enough to buy a bottle of their wine, so I'd recommend them.

    I loved the architecture and decor of the tasting room!  Beautiful setting and outdoor area is very inviting.  It's a boutique winery and several wines were superb!  The guy serving us drinks was very nice and knowledgeable.  

    When the wine tastings end in the evening, they open a charming little bar in the same building as the tasting room!  Such a hidden gem!

    What a great place! First of all they have the perfect location.  This is pretty much the first (not really... but sometimes feels that way) tasting room you find when you enter the area on the drive from Healdsburg.  They're located off of this perfect intersection where the "action starts".

    Their tasting room is really pretty, really friendly people and great wine.  I love the story behind the winery as well.  Started by two college room mates not all that long ago and since then I'm sure they're having a great time!

    The setting is also beautiful.  You can sit back on their patio and enjoy your tasting where you see nothing but grapes, their garden and their pizza oven.  I haven't tried the pizza nights yet but I'm sure they're amazing!

    I really recommended this if you happen to drive by.  

    Here is a tip - Make this your last stop on the tour... Around 5:00 and you might be in for a little surprise :)

    Lovely, delicious, sustainable wine choices in a beautiful setting!

    We came on a rainy and blustery day and sat with our flight for more than an hour chatting with the knowledgeable and helpful woman pouring our glasses.

    The architecture was modern. yet warm, and the bar next door was so stylish that I can't wait to come back for a cocktail on our next trip.

    Best wine- Their 2005 Cab. We brought it for New Years dinner plans.

    Hint: show your Visa Signature for discounts on the flight!

    What a fantastic tasting room/winery.  

    We discovered this room by accident - on our way from Healdsburg to Calistoga and decided to stop in (even though it was a weekday and even though we were supposed to be working).  We were drawn in by the architecture and design of the building (an old gas station, I believe) and we did a U-turn to go back as we were so struck!

    I'm awfully glad we did!  What an amazingly lovely tasting we had.  Delightful staff, beautiful environs, and quite good wines!

    I was taken by the Sauvignon Blanc - beautiful and floral, it reminded me of some of my favorites from a trip to New Zealand.  Chardonnay surprised as well... fruity and flavorful.  We also tasted three reds alongside some small tasting bites of local cheese and oils.  Divine.

    I joined the wine club and plan to return in the spring to enjoy the herb gardens where we are told that pizzas are sometimes grilled in their outdoor brick oven.  Despite living in Texas, I plan to try to do my club pickups at the vineyard when I can... this is a place I want to revisit time and time again!

    I discovered Medlock Ames while on a bike ride through Healdsburg.  The modern design of their tasting room caught my eye and I made note to return the following day.  While out to dinner that night @ Scopa, Medlock Ames 2006 Red was on their list.  This is were my love affair with Medlock Ames began.

    The following day we stopped by and I was overflowing in delight and adoration for the wines, concept, inspiration, hospitality and friendly staff.
    The tasting was paired with complimentary freshly baked pizza that was just as memorable as the tasting.  You can watch them prep the pizza with fresh ingredients from their garden, then take it outside to their outdoor wood burning oven.  

    It was 11 am so their bar adjacent wasn't open but they gave us a quick tour and let us snap some pics in the photo booth.   Medlock Ames was the highlight of my 8 day trip in Sonoma County.  If you live near by, it's the cool bar you want to frequent  and if you're visiting, this is one wine tasting you don't want to miss.

    This very hip tasting room is located in Alexander Valley at the moderately busy crossroads of Hwy 128 and Alexander Valley Road. The place converts into a bar that opens when the tasting room closes. It is surrounded by fragrant herb and vegetable gardens and they also sell some wonderful produce and packaged foods.

    They have a nice outdoor seating area, a good sized parking lot and very good wines. The vineyards and winery are creations of a partnership who each contributed a name and they have a very high environmental ethic in their approach. Wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Rose, Pinot Noir.

    It certainly helped that the day was warm, but not too hot. And that a vigorous bike ride up from Healdsburg had made us a little bit hungry and very ready for some wonderful wines... But what we discovered at Medlock Ames is A True Treasure.

    A wonderfully restored old building on a meticulously gardened plot of land feeds all the senses -- flowers burst from raised planting beds, the smell of wood stove pizza teases the nose, the luscious wines delight the palette..

    And the staff is as joyful as they are articulate about the organic methods used by the winery. And quick to share extra tomatoes and other vegetables from the garden as you sip, even if you haven't elected to enjoy the local cheese and salumi tastings with the wine.

    A band was set to start at 3:30 and the bar opens at 5:00 -- we missed both sadly, but did have the most enjoyable part of our afternoon sipping wine on their patio.

    On second thought, why am I reviewing this place, please don't go here I don't want it to be too crowded next time I come back!

    What an adorable tasting room!!! I absolutely love the design of Medlock Ames. The interior is beautiful with a lovely wall of wine. They have great little pickled veggies displayed in mason jars which are given to new members of their wine club. The outdoor area is stunning with a great patio and brick oven where pizzas are cooked in the afternoon (starting at 1 PM). If you visit later in the day, be sure to check out their speakeasy which is probably the coolest spot in N. California to enjoy a bourbon!! (Opens at 5 pm).

    The wines are very good. For $12 you can sample 4 wines paired with lovely little bites. The service is incredibly welcoming and friendly.

    I'll definitely visit again when in Healdsburg!

    Had the distinct pleasure of a private flight and pairing on a lazy Sunday after their Friday soft launch about a month ago.

    ...Wonderfully nice hosts, a very thoughtfully designed and decorated tasting room (a healthy mix of old and new worlds), and a back bar area that my girlfriend and I vowed to return for after it had been finished (they promised that it would be soon).

    A excellent stop on the way north of San Francisco up 101 or on the way back home after a weekend up north.

    Holy Cow Batman, this is good ass wine!  I am soo super duper lucky that my little sister is in the wine industry as occasionally (and I say occasionally cause she hordes that shit like a squirrel with nuts), I get the privilege of sampling wines that get sent to her by generous vineyards.  

    Medlock Ames was first introduced to us at the Sonoma Tasting at Yuerba Buena.  Mwwaahahahahh was that crap good.  I mean, I was tasting like 62 different wines on an empty stomach and still managed to enjoy their Chardonnay and their Cab.  

    Long story short, sis got a shipment of their new releases and we enjoyed the soon to be released "RED."  Yeooowwwzzaa, that shit was finger licking good.  We paired the Red some steak and potatoes and good ol' fashioned broccoli and watched Prime, for the SECOND TIME.  Yes we are both dorky freaks, but that's ok.  This wine was fabu and washed our guilt away at sitting on the couch of a sibling on a Saturday night.

    Joined the wine club today and am super pumped to see what I get delivered to my door in the future.  Let me tell you, this wine tasted WAY above the price point if you get my drift.  Soooo, well, sign up before they close this mother humping wine club.

    Oh yes, for all ya'll interested in the environment, they practice organic farming and production.  SWEEEET.  Save the world and get drunk.
