We visited Pine Ridge Vineyards during California Napa Neighbor Month and had a wonderful…read moreexperience, taking advantage of their complimentary estate tasting for two. We were seated tucked away from other guests in a cozy, semi-private cave setting, which made the tasting feel intimate and relaxed. Our host was warm, welcoming, and very knowledgeable, sharing great insights about the winery, the Stags Leap District, and the wines without ever feeling rushed. The cheese platter was a lovely addition and paired nicely with the tasting. Napa Neighbor Month also included 10% off wine purchases, so we happily brought home our favorites: the Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon and the limited-production Cabernet Franc. Between the beautiful setting, thoughtful hospitality, and excellent wines, Pine Ridge Vineyards is absolutely worth a visit.

We were greeted right away by the gentleman named either Fredrick or Patrick. Since we had a toddler with us, we chose to be seated in the couch area, which was very comfortable. We did two of the same tastings the first time and enjoyed majority of their wines. Our favorite was The Doctor the first time we visited. We came again a few weeks later to do different tastings. This time our favorite was the Veraison Cabernet. We liked it a bit better than The Doctor, so I purchased a bottle of Veraison. They waived my tasting fee because of the purchase, which was nice. We really enjoyed this place, it was relaxing and we didn't feel rushed. Their place was also very chilled and clean. Will definitely come back every time we visit Napa.

My wife and I were visiting the Oxbow Market and decided to wander to find some tasting rooms. By…read moreluck, the one closest to the market is Krupp. We're glad we stopped in. There was only one other couple tasting, so we were given a lot of attention by Michael, the Tasting Room Manager. Besides explaining each wine, he told about the winery's history, and we talked about his own career. It was like talking to a new friend. We also got to know the other couple. The wines were fantastic. Finding out that my wife is not a fan of dry wines, he did a great job of pouring some wines that were not on the normal flight menu. He also got her to try a Chardonnay, something she usually hates, and surprise, surprise, she like it! He also broke out some others like a port and a dessert wine. Happy wife, happy like, right? I got the same treatment as he started to understand what I liked. We didn't want to be carrying around anything heavy, and we weren't looking to buy a case for shipment, but we'll definitely be ordering from the website in the near future.

Fortunately, we have not paid for the wines. John Ruston did achnowledge that we did not receive it and offered to comp us a bottle or two at the next shipment. We havent seen that one either. We have ordered Ruston wines several times w/ no problems directly from John himself. We have also visited his farm like house just west of St Helena several times...one time a group of us did a tasting in his mom's kitchen while she made souup! That would require a whole different review in itself. John was nice enough to leave us a few open bottles while he tended to his daughter's computer problems and said "dig in, dont be shy". We were hoping to stop by his place again this March when we are back in town but he hasnt returned any emails! I have seen their wine now on LOT 18 at reduced prices which makes me wonder......

We each chose different tasting flights so we could try a wider variety of wines, and Mike did a fantastic job walking us through everything. He was knowledgeable, welcoming, and made the tasting feel relaxed and personalized rather than rushed. During our conversation, I mentioned that I had never done a barrel tasting before, and Mike surprised me by arranging one for us on the spot.
