Janice was so fun to hang out with. We came in from the rain and had a blast. It's a small tasting room but full of stories and ambiance. Think Cheers, but with wine. Loved it. Their cab franc and consortium wine are my recommendations.

Great customer service, Janice was very informative about Carmel and the surrounding area. The prices were great and the Cab Franc lives up to all the hype!

Great wines (especially the ZSM) and a wonderful, cozy tasting environment. Valentina made us feel right at home.
