I attended an event at Andis last week for the passing of a dear friend. They hosted a wonderful event and served some of the best wine I have had in a long time. The Sav Blanc (made with Codevilla vinyard grapes) was fantastic...I ordered a case to take home with me. Great people and great wine.

My husband and I visited here on Sunday. Although it was crush weekend, we were welcomes and treated awesome! The two ladies who served us were great. We found out it was our first server, Stephanie's first day on the job. I would never had known if she didn't tell us. She was being helped out by Nicole who was incredibly knowledgeable and totally sweet. The wines were good and we bought some Rose of Grenache. Having just left Dobra with a bad experience, this winery saved the day. Thank you so much!

Made a res and came here for a tasting on a Sat - it was pretty busy! I usually don't care for white wines but really enjoyed their Sauv Blanc. We bought two bottles and didn't notice until we got home but they didn't come with any labels - weird haha. Anyway, we got a tasting outdoors and it was pretty nice!
