We have had the meat thaw several times now and therefore can't refreeze it. They drop it off at 2 am without any ice packs or dry ice to keep it frozen. There is no customer support email on their website, at least that I could find. No next steps if you have an issue with the order. I would steer clear until they figure out how to deliver and keep the meat frozen.

This was a memorable trip. We were originally slated to visit in late June before my birthday but…read moreboth Deb and Kirk were recovering from surgery. We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch. It's a beautiful space on a hillside and you can see the herd and their guardian llama as you pull into the parking lot. We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.

The winery is beautifully decorated with picturesque views from every corner....and the wines sampled were all delectable!

Met the gracious owner and a woman who worked there. I hit it off with both of them right away. The woman, sorry I forgot your name, is originally from Indiana. The tasting room and outdoor patio areas are beautiful. Once you begin the tastings you become very comfortable. Some wine is a great way to break the ice with people you just met that day on the tour. How was the wine? Great, every single pouring was very good. If you are visiting Sonoma keep this small winery, making very good wine, in mind when choosing wineries to visit. Many have this idea that wine is only for pretentious people which is just not so. Wine is for everyone. This sort of mentality is much more apparent in other parts of the world. In Mediterranean counties wine is so common that it rivals the price of bottled water in the grocery store. Don't know much about wine? No, problem there are plenty of wineries and plenty of books that can educate you. Everyone has to start somewhere. People are not born with this innate wine wisdom. And even if you so happen to be on a tour with pretentious people don't worry because chances are you will probably never see them again. My group included people from Argentina and Columbia and the chance of ever running into them again are very slim; even in their own countries, unless you exchange information with them because you would like to see them again. The wine market around the world is currently experiencing a contracting demographic. Folks nothing goes better with pristine seafood or a wagu steak then a nice glass of wine. Wine is for everyone, get out there and start learning, the wine market needs you.

I came for a retreat and stayed one night, two days. Okay, first off, I just have to say... The food was amazing! Props to the chef, there was food for normal diets and special made dishes for vegans and other restrictive food diets! Everything was delish! I couldn't wait for meals! One of my favorite dishes had to be this pumpkin seed pesto! I'm just drooling at the thought of it. Meals were buffet style in a shared space, so other people who are staying will be sharing meals with you in the same space. The grounds itself are lovely. It's in a nice wooded space with little cabins everywhere, a pool and hot tub area, and many difference conference "cabins". Lots of outdoor work areas where you can hang out and do work. You can even schedule a massage in this cute little round cabin. There are some hiking trails around (although we didn't end up having any time for them). The property is on an incline, so if you have trouble with stairs or upward walking, it'll be something to consider. There are longer ramped inclines if stairs are a problem for you. The cabins themselves are nothing fancy. Quaint and cozy, we had a fireplace in ours which was so luxurious to have! There were three beds in our little cabin and a tiny little kitchen area as well. The bathroom was rather basic, felt like a childhood sleep away camp bathroom. There is a lot of parking throughout, and areas for you to drive up to the top (for people who have cabins at the top so you don't have to lug your luggage all the way up the stairs). It was overall a lovely quaint stay at Westerberke!

This is not a push-the-button riding school. It's a space of self-discovery through interaction with horses, from the ground and from the saddle, and its depth has brightened my life up like I didn't even know was possible.

Her passion in her work is immediate. I highly recommend attending one of jenny's sessions, she's one of the sweetest people I ever met. She's very generous and really created a personalized session to fit my needs. Overall I had a great time just being in her space and interacting with Jenny and the horses!
