The Winery’s Birds
Birds and Birdhouses! Western bluebirds, tree swallows. Birds are good for the winery because they eat insects. Barn Owls and Larger Birdhouses! Sorry folks, but the barn owls are welcome because they only eat rodents.
The Winery’s Wildlife Sanctuary
Mule Deer and Coyote to Fox and Wild Turkey to Skunk and Raccoon. The river is home to beaver and otter.
The Wines
Sauvignon Blanc
Aromatic, Crisp and Refreshing! Love the Fruity Citrus.
Chardonnay
Beautiful in the glass with a fragrant nose and lingering finish on the palate. Pears, lemon and honey.
Vino Tinto
The name alone is FUN to say! A great tasting red blend with Zinfandel, Syrah and Petite Sirah. Fruitiness sums up this wine.
Block 14 Zinfandel
Bright and Flavorful! Beautiful in the glass and one to take your time with and just sip.
Block 5 Old Vine Zinfandel
Beautiful and Intense and Great Tasting! Savory and Spice too. A full bodied wine great balance.
Petit Verdot
A blend of 75% Petit Verdot, 20% Petite Sirah and 5% Grenache. I love trying and tasting Grenache. Beautiful in the glass with an aromatic nose with fruitiness and subtle tannins. The mouth feel was soft and the palate was pleased!
Charbono
I love trying and tasting Charbono – RARITY to see on a wine tasting list! Certainly need to sip and savor with food. The color in the glass is amazing and the taste is very pleasing on the palate too. Smooth, Bold and has Character.

Audrey –
I have been honing my tasting skills for years with wine and recently add beer. Plus it helps that I live in an area that offers wine and craft beer!
Cheers – Renee
