“I don’t visit Lodi as much as I used to because it is so close to my home that I exhausted the brands here years ago. However, I always have to revisit to check out the newer brands that open. That is exactly what I was doing in Lodi on this day. Block 21 tastes out back of a large renovated barn and manicured patio. They grew a local following fast because there was a little “Cheers” vibe going on with each group that came into the tasting room. It is a fun and friendly place for a group or to taste alone.”
