Found this burgeoning distillery by a chance search on Yelp on our way up north and once we saw…read moremention of a whiskey, we had to stop and give it a try. The owner was incredibly kind and hospitable allowing hubby and I to sample several established products and a few that were still in the works! It was clear that he and his wife enjoy experimenting with new spirits and flavors and we enjoyed sampling their efforts! We tried a few brandy-based liqueurs (apple, pomegranate, rootbeer), a gin, and a whiskey. The pomegranate brandy was like sipping a tart spiced apple cider and was pretty darn good! I could imagine it over ice or ice cream, or to spike a fall punch or hot toddy. The whiskey was produced using white oak staves that he chars and adds to steel tanks. It wasnt bad, but some additional time or tweaking might soften the bitter woodiness that overtook my palate. I did enjoy the gin in progress... it was herbaceous and subtle, not the kick-you-in-the-teeth juniper flavor that most mainstream gins have. This one was floral, grassy, and delicate and I can see it laying a nice foundation for many different cocktails. At the end of our tasting, our offer of payment was politely declined as our host explained that he just likes sharing his labors with others. I encourage others to visit this business and perhaps find a spirit that calls to you, and I wish its owners luck and success as they continue to develop and refine their products.

Wow it was simply fantastic. Hints of vanilla and caramel on the nose and palate with a nice smooth finish. Given its price point, I regret not picking up a case. This is a excellent all around Bourbon and is ready to go neat with nothing else. THis is the second excellent distiller in the area and while wine and pot grab the headlines in Norcal the craft spirit movement is really noteworthy as well

If you miss the sign it looks like a beautiful old house sitting above HWY 101 overlooking well maintained vineyards. We've been wine club members here for a while. We keep coming back for the great wine and great service and hospitality from the tasting room staff. Today Brook and Monica were super attentive and made us feel right at home. Our favorite wine ones here are the Jaxzin, Hales Zinfandel, Wedding Cake Primitivo. Walk up the flagstone steps to the entrance and on a nice day sit out on the deck enjoying the views overlooking the vineyards. Don't forget to bring a picnic or charcuterie board when visiting.

He walked us through the different whiskeys, gin, bourbon, bitters, and brandy they make there, and even gave us a tour of the fermentation process.

It made for a really memorable birthday. We'll definitely be back!
