"My son Steve is a club member and set up a wonderful wine tasting for us. The drive up to Inglenook is impressive. Fountains, pools, vineyards, and old buildings set an impressive tone for the tasting. We were greeted quickly and sat for our tasting. We learned about the history of Inglewood and the Coppola Family. Greet story!! The Coppola’s have restored Inglewood back to its original glory. Well Done!!"
