点评:It had been a while since I had visited this winery. We arrived and were warmly greeted. We were a party of 4. Because of very inclement weather, it wasn't very crowded even though it was Saturday in May. We were offered our choice of where to taste and we took the room upstairs which was absolutely delightful. I would not expect this again but it was a wonderfully pleasant treat. Normally we would have tasted on the patio.
Our host made the trek up the stairs and brought us the most wonderful selection of wines. In addition to the printed menu, we were able to sample several additional varietals. I must say that every wine we tasted that day was exceptional. If my budget allowed it, I may have bought them all. Our host also shared her take on every one, spending time sharing with us and making our experience truly special.
Oh, and as a side note, because they are in Mendocino and not Sonoma or Napa, their price point is very reasonable. They had some specials of really tasty wines that were cheaper than most grocery store bulk products and even their more select wines were quite reasonable. We did leave with a case.
Oh, and one more thing, they have some of the best alambic Brandy in the country which you can also sample. Think very high end Cognac but because it is not from France, it can't be called that. They gave us a little taste of the $525 a bottle stuff and it was complex and delicious. Some day........

我们的主人爬上楼梯,给我们带来了最精彩的葡萄酒选择。除了印刷菜单外,我们还品尝了几种其他品种的葡萄酒。我必须说,那天我们品尝的每一种葡萄酒都非常棒。如果我的预算允许,我可能会把它们都买下来。我们的主人也分享了她对每一种葡萄酒的看法,花时间与我们分享,让我们的体验真正特别。
哦,顺便说一句,因为他们在门多西诺,而不是索诺玛或纳帕,所以他们的价格非常合理。他们有一些特别的美味葡萄酒,比大多数杂货店的散装产品便宜,甚至他们精选的葡萄酒价格也相当合理。我们确实带了一箱。
哦,还有一件事,他们有一些全国最好的白兰地,你也可以品尝。想想非常高端的干邑白兰地,但因为它不是法国的,所以不能称之为高端。他们让我们尝了一小口 525 美元一瓶的酒,味道复杂而美味。有一天......
