“Stopped in for a tasting and I'm glad I did. This isn't a polished tasting room — it's a bar inside the working winery, barrels and cold storage right there — and that turned out to be the best part of it. Troy poured for me and he's the reason I'm writing this. He talked about the actual wine: how the fruit is grown, how it's picked, that they'll pass on a whole cluster if there are greenies or raisins in it. Which barrels are new and which are used, so the oak doesn't take over. What's aged in steel. I've been to a lot of tasting rooms lately and he's the only person who took the time to teach me anything. When I thought I was finished, Troy talked me into one more — and it was delicious. It made the decision hard. I went with the Grenache Blanc in the end, because of the hint of peach in it. Small winery, real people, and someone behind the bar who genuinely knows the wine. Worth the stop.”
