My friend Merry and I are a little bit of winos. She was looking for a local winery with a wine club to join. We stopped into the Old town tasting room and were blown away. I'm ever the realist, and so I wanted to wait to join the wine club until we had tasted the wine. Merry was already all in from reading about them. The Old Town tasting room is a cute place to unwind. Like most of Old Town, it's quiet, and they have plenty of seating. They have a cute little store and beautiful artwork for sale on the walls. Upstairs is a lounge for wine club members, and they also do private parties. They are a small winery and they do wax instead of foil. They hand dip the wax themselves, no machine. It's personalized touches like that, that make them feel homey. They have quite a wine selection, more than is on the menu. I have not had wine there that I disliked; everything is just a varying degree of deliciousness. Whether you like sweet or dry, red or white, they have something that will appeal to even the most discerning of wine lovers. Since they tell you about the wine in great detail before you try it, you are very unlikely to end up with a wine you dislike. One of my current favorites is the Turas. It's a red port described as "Notes of rich blackberry, toasted caramel, and rich chocolate make this a perfect wine to pair with dessert...or as dessert." It was an oopsy wine and boy am I glad they had the happy accident. It's made with merlot grapes that were too sweet for merlot so they added brandy to it and made a port. Their 2019 Grand Reserve Cabernet is also amazing. It's smooth and leaves you with lingering flavor. There are many more wines that I enjoy but I'll leave you with this, you should go try it for yourself, you'll find something you love.

Fantastic place to stop in. Sustainable practices. They take their wine seriously. And the staff was fantastic.

I have been here twice for flights since I turned 21 at the end of June, both excellent experiences. It's a desirable location with open seating. During the more recent trip, my partner and I had the pleasure of speaking with their sommelier, Ann and had the opportunity to learn from her. I definitely will be back!

We came through Albuquerque for the night and was looking for some things to do when my wife found Sheehan Winery. We have dear friends named Sheehan so felt compelled to visit. It surpassed our expectations! A lovely atmosphere, relaxing music, and great wine! We were served by Trish who is a local resident with an engaging personality. Not only was she helpful with choosing our wines, she made recommendations for dinner and breakfast. Needless to say we left with a bag of wine and great memories. I would highly recommend Sheehan's during your visit to Albuquerque!

Came by for wine and they have a great selection. The ambiance is great also. And they have some room outside and good size inside for friends to gather. Exceptional customer service!

Amazing in every respect! Anne is the epitome of a host and wine steward. Some of the best wine and customer service I've experienced.

I came here for the first time and was so impressed I came back and brought some friends. I love this place!! I really enjoyed their wine. My favorite was the Chardonnay but I also like the Viogner. We picked up a bottle of the Cielo Dulce for my mother in law and she loved it! I also have to give high fives to their staff they really make the visit quite enjoyable.

While visiting friends in Albuquerque, we met up with some friends of theirs who are club members for conversation and wine. A great experience. We brought along our own small bites - meats, various cheeses and breads - and sampled the flight of red wines, some Cabs, a Merlot and a Malbec. The wines were good - I left with two bottles of the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon - the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable; and the staff was fantastic. Definitely worth a visit if you're visiting and find yourself in the the Old Town area.
What a hidden gem! Sheehan Winery makes the most incredible wine. The old town tasting room is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day. My fave wines to taste are the Sauvignon blanc, the Pinot Gris, the Rose, the Malbec and the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon but you can't go wrong with any of them as they are all so good. What makes Sheehan winery unique when comparing them to other New Mexico wineries is their winemaking style. They have a unique way of bringing out the best flavors. I really enjoy their wine as most of them tend to be on the dryer side whereas many NM wines tend to be sweeter. You'll still find a couple sweet wines on their menu but plenty of dry options to appease even the most critical sommelier!

The servers at Sheehan have always been great. No matter the day we stop in. Today, we were here when Dave was working and he is a fabulous host. Always provides great information and has a great personality.

Lovely space for tasting and drinking wine. Upstairs is an area for large groups. The staff was excellent. Even when busy they made sure I wasn't forgotten. Very informative. Great wine and the Bloody Mary was great too!

What a pleasant surprise. Good vino made from grapes grown in NM? Somehow the wine maker, a chemist by trade, teases out some delicious flavor and complexity from the grapes grown in this sun drenched terroir. Was expecting a lot of alcohol without a lot of finish from what must be a grape high in sugar. Totally missed on that. All the red wines we tried were fruit forward but there was excellent acidity which created a rich lingering mouth feel. Balanced. These wines remind me of Portugal. Easy on the tannins so the grape can speak! The food possibilities are endless. I could see the merlot with a rich salmon. And no sulfites. All organic. Bought a bottle of the gruner veltliner, the merlot and the Malbec to go so we could be sure our taste buds were in love with the wine vs the tasting room buzz. Liked the Malbec and merlot so much we ordered a case to share with our wine group. And no preservatives = no heavy head the next morning. I tested that claim personally ;-) The staff honored the tasting room discount when we ordered remotely and helped work out the shipping arrangements. 5 stars for service and quality!

I love Sheehan Wine. We visited the Tasting Room in Old Town. Great ambiance. You can bring your own snacks. They are working on bringing in food in the future. Staff is amazing. As a Sheehan Wine Member, I also have access to the upstairs private seating. The wine is impressive. My pickleball friends, with all their varying tastes, were impressed. Want to go again. As a Wine Member my tasting is free. It is only $10 for five tastes if You are not a member. This is more than reasonable for wine tasting. The only thing I miss is that they don't always have the time to educate about the different wines. Sean, Bonnie, Ann and Laurie always do such an amazing job of teaching about the different selections. We will be back!!!
