A wine rep will be doing the work while a friend and I work the crowd. I would love a report of what your experience is at this winery, though I know it will be different from I am up to.

Have a good time!
I’ve been to a couple different ones, things I look for and enjoy are pretty simple.
We prefer it’s local made wines, there are a few around that get their wine from out of state. A nice shady outdoor spot to enjoy the wine and a smoke, a nice cool indoor spot (that winery has seating for about 10 people indoors) and events.
Food variety, music variety, and even a card club. ( there was Bridge club at one met weekly) there was an art class at this one once, most importantly a staff that is friendly and smiling. Poor attitude in staff is the first reason we don’t frequent places again.
As long as the owner/staff is at least giving the appearance of having fun everyone has a good time.

Yes.
We have been there before and enjoy both the food variety they bring in and the different wines!

Tks! All back roads and I take it easy when on the road. Except the bourbon trail tastings, the wife just drove when we went on those!

Bourbon trail tasting sounds like fun. Did she throw you in the trunk on the way home? :lol:

Good time was had!
Food was good, music was good, and wine was good!
They mixed a couple wines and made what tasted like Carmel covered apples, that was real good!
