So many great winetasting options! So many regions, so little time!
Riaza
"Our tasting room (which just so happens to be a part of the winery) is your one-stop shop for all things Riaza. Different from what you might expect to find in a warehouse district, our space is a nice mix of comfort and contemporary. It's kind of like you're hanging out with friends enjoying a glass or two (if you're friends have just a bit of "hipster" in 'em). Here’s the deal…wine should be fun, easy and approachable. The tasting room echos that philosophy. You can grab a seat at the bar, you can circle around a barrel with your crew or you can chill on the "patio." No matter where you end up, you'll find great wine, amazing people and an incredible experience."
O’Shaughnessy
"O’Shaughnessy Estate Winery sits at 1,800 feet on the heralded Howell Mountain appellation in the beautiful Napa Valley. Founded in 1996, the estate encompasses one hundred and twenty acres. Winemaker Sean Capiaux has overseen the planting of the vineyard and selected numerous clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and all seven of the historic Bordeaux varietals for this unique property. O’Shaughnessy Estate Winery uses modern equipment to produce non-interventionist wines that are naturally fermented and bottled unfined and unfiltered. These techniques allow the varietal character and terroir of O’Shaughnessy Estate vineyards to be the stars of the show."
Abacela
"Abacela is a world-class, multi-award-winning winery and viticulture success story. But in 1995, when founders Earl and Hilda Jones planted its first vines they had no way of knowing what the outcome would be. They were scientists with zero winemaking experience who left secure careers and trekked 2700 miles west, kids in tow, to determine if fine Tempranillo wine could be grown and produced in Oregon’s Umpqua Valley."
Clementine Carter
"All of the magic takes place in our indoor and outdoor space. You choose. We share our wonderfully sunny patio with our sister business Babi’s Beer Emporium. We offer pre-poured tasting flights of 6 wines for $40 per person, wines by the glass and by the bottle. The wine room is reserved for wine tasting experiences, glass of wine and bottle purchases. Babi’s Beer Emporium is open to everything - wine, beer, cider, tasting flights, yummy delicious Dim Sama food (run by our favorites Sama Sama from Santa Barbara) and/or all of the above. We host parties, too! Reach out!"
Wren Hop
"Wren Hop began in 2008 after James McDonough and his father created a single barrel, unreleased, Pinot Noir “experiment” from their Russian River Valley site. The result was a silky, deeply-layered, black cherry behemoth, studded with spice and fine-grained tannins. Many pulled corks later and in true start-up fashion, Wren Hop Vineyards was born. Passion mixed with a dose of fruit-forward adrenaline. Kaboom."
Trisaetum
"Today, Frey Family Wines encompass the brands of Trisaetum (Willamette Valley); 18401 Cellars (Walla Walla) and Pashey (Sparkling); all produced by James at the winery on Ribbon Ridge. Despite outside influences pushing for expanded production, staying small and very hands-on has become a core principle; therefore, production levels have remained constant at a total of around 6,000 cases each vintage."
