I was happily done with work early in the Lewiston area this past week and made my way for some…read morelate afternoon wine tasting. I have been supporting my customer in Lewsiton for years, but it never occurred to me there would be wineries in the area, until fellow Yelper, Inna, visited and posted some photos and a review. Major shout out to Inna!!! So Apple maps takes you to a house on the property, but if you keep driving in, you'll see a sign for the Tasting Room in a larger building. They have seating inside and outside, but as it was a triple digit day, I opted to sit inside. Sarah was the individual assisting me and was fantastic! She knew her wine and is a local Lewiston resident! The tastings were a bargin at $10 for 8 tastings, and the tasting fee gets waived if you purchase a bottle, which are all super affordable! My favorite wine that day was the Ralph E Nichols, he was the owner's grandfather, and it's a wonderful red blend with Malbec, Cab Franc, Merlot, and Cab Sauv. I didn't purchase any bottles, as I had a carry-on, but I may need to plan my visits to accomodate a few bottles! Next time I'm in the area and I'm done early, I'm heading this way!

I don't know what I was thinking when I initially tried to just order one glass. Why have one glass…read morefor $7-10 when I can try 8+ different wines for $10? The pours were on the small side, but there was plenty of wine served and we did get an offer to revisit favorites. I'm pretty sure the tasting fee would have been waived if we bought a bottle, but we have a few too many bottles at home so I decided to just stick with the tasting fee. The employee was very nice and chatted with us more and more as the tasting progressed. The front area tables were all occupied when we arrived so they set up additional tables in the barrel room and opened up the wall/door so we could sit in there. The cool room felt wonderful on a hot day. They had outdoor seating set up but it was too hot out there. At least some of the other visitors appeared to be regulars. One couple apparently likes bringing in treats (like a chocolate bar) to share with everyone each time they visit so we enjoyed a surprise piece of dark chocolate. Overall it was a lovely visit. I just wish they had snacks. I would have loved something like fruit and cheese with the wine.
