“Billed as a “small winery with a big personality,” this winery lives up to its reputation. It is very fun and blends California and Australian sensibilities. This winery was featured in the movie “Sideways.”

On a practical side, this winery has a healthy variety of well-received wines in a broad range of prices to suit almost anybody’s palette and wallet.
Although their Chardonnay and Shiraz will make any wine lover happy – rumor has it their desert wines are top notch and not to be missed. Seated on a gorgeous tract of land, this winery is a must see on your travels.”
