of room for kids and dogs to go for a romp (as long as the dogs aren’t chasers

with a play area inside. We have Legos and blocks to play with, and fruit

store. He also makes and sell wine glass charms (the anklets that go around the

Barbara and Paul run the tasting room. Paul
particularly tries to be around on Saturday afternoons to answer the technical
and esoteric wine questions you may have. With over 20 years in the wine world,
Paul has plenty of knowledge (and opinion!) to share. Click

(according to Paul).
Please come by and visit us anytime. We
always have lots of fun in our tasting room!
