"Amazing winery, beautiful scenery, amazing service. We made reservations in advance so we didn't wait. We got the best server Alex I believe was her name. Attentive and knowledgeable of the wines served. The food was incredible,pairing perfectly with the wines.Also we didn't know dogs were allowed,so we will be bringing our furry companion next time. 10/10 would recommend."
