Four Star:
Chouinard Winery: We went there the first time a couple of years ago and found out that they do movies at night during the summer. You bring a picnic and drink wine. We never made it to this but we did make it back this year and I still liked it. Things were moving slow this day as far as service but relax you are wine tasting and in no hurry. I rated the wines as follows, Geurztraminer 5star for a sweater white wine, Barbera Rose a 4star, Granny Smith Apple 3star, Alicante Bouschet 4star, Old Vine Zin 4star, Cabernet Sauvignon , S.F 3star. They are reasonably priced topping out at $21.00.
Westover Winery: This one is close to Chouinard, infact you hit this one first if you are coming from 580. I didn't go back this year, 2012 but I did go a couple of years ago and if memory serves me they were also a 4star so this is where I will rank them until I go back. They had a ton of ports to try.
Not a Fan:
- Elliston Vineyards: We went there June 2012. It is also a museum so it is worth a stop by but I did not like any of the wine. I like a bold red and these were not. We did purchase a $15 bottle of champagne which wasn't bad but I wouldn't go back to get another. Been there done that.
