There are a lot of wineries in the Drilling Springs area and this is one of my favorites because the wine is just so good. These are actually California wines & that's a-ok with me. The Paso White Tombstone was my favorite of all the wines we sampled. It was refreshing and flavorful. Not overpowering. The perfect wine for relaxing. The overall experience was just wonderful. Looking forward to a return visit.

I kind of don't know how I feel about this place. I was drawn in by the creative name (because I…read morelove all things spooky), and they had some cute kitsch that leaned into that, so I was appreciative. On another note, I was kind of surprised to find an all-California winery in the middle of Texas. I am sure there will be people who say the wines are automatically better because California, but that is not necessarily true. Still, I was intrigued. And yes, some of the wines were quite good. The Tempranillo was especially good (and the bottle was gorgeous). I might go as far as say it was one of the best Tempranillos I've had. But most of the rest that I was offered didn't really leave an impression. They were.. ok? I admit I am not a huge fan of big-bodied California wines generally, and maybe that was it, but even the white I had hit a little flat. The service also felt a bit off. It felt like other people came in and were warmly greeted, but I would just get my pour and a perfunctory description of the wine and that was it. I felt like the staff was very cold unless you were a regular.. but how does one become regular with that? I would still give it another try because people seem to really dig them.

We were greeted by a staff member at the door as we were climbing the step and taken to the Speakeasy Tasting Room. I opted for the Red Wine Tasting and my husband opted for the Sweet White Tasting. Service and conversation were good. My husband loved his Sweet Whites. Unfortunately for me, the reds didn't meet my love for BIG BOLD Reds. The red wines were very light and the first 2 too tart for my liking. Everyone has their personal preference. It was definitely worth stopping. Tastings were normally $20 per person and we had purchased Wine Lovers Celebration passport for a couple at $100. If you haven't tried the Texas Wine Passport, it is worth the money.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was relatively quiet, which is nice. There is indoor and outdoor seating and if you sit indoors, you can peer and walk down into their limestone cellar! It does smell pretty musty down there so be warned. We got a tasting and Matt curated the wines. We got 2 whites, a rose and a red. Also a bonus pour. The wines were alright, my favorite was the mourvede. Bathroom had a baby changing station which is always nice! THE FINAL BAMBOO: A wine tasting here was around $15 for 4 tastings. Very pretty view and each wine had a good story behind it.

I'm a wine snob as I was raised with it and also living and working around the world I was able to have some of the best wines in the world. No, I am not rich . Wines that are sent to the states are really jacked up in price and I was able to get what I wanted and bring it back. One thing I did learn is that you don't drink an expensive wine as a part of the meals but enjoy it on its own. I bought 2 bottles of Barolo to have with an Italian meal. It was a great fit. This little place has fulfilled the perfect fit! The lady who owns the place and makes the wine is quite nice and understand all of the above. I will be back!
