What a pleasant surprise! My wife and I both enjoyed all of the wines we tasted and ended up having a couple of glasses with dinner. Outside of the wine, the place is beautiful, the food is very good and the live music was very enjoyable.

We’ve been to Italy a few times and the pizza that we had on Friday night brought back wonderful memories of the flat pizza we had for lunch every day at one of the hundreds of little hole in the wall places throughout Rome. What a treat!

Congratulations to the owner(s) and I hope you have continued success.

Lovely! Exceptional service, live music, beautiful decor! Met the owner, a very nice man, who took the time to tell us about the winery business & his family history. My husband & son bought cigars in the shop, & I bought a bottle of their fine wine to take home. It’s definitely out of the way, but well worth the drive.

The parking lot can be seen from Keslinger Road! It is odd enough to have a business in the agricultural area but then to allow it to stick out like such a sore thumb was bad planning. I was especially displeased that these lights were on in the middle of night before the place even opened. If they are expanding the parking lot I hope they reconsider the type of lighting, some of us would still like to see the stars.
