My preference on the sample list was the white wine, my partners was the zinfandel. Ok, I'm a lover of the sweets. So I added the sweet wine that is not on the sample list. OMG... winner. I chose "El Grand Fiasco".... WINNER!! Wine is a wonderful treat. Taste like a smooth light cognac. A special thank you to Mr Ray.... You're a superstar. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. You are great... all around joyful experience. Great product. I also love the art on the different labels... The art is wonderful.. and worthy of the wine. Excellent product!

My brother in law also had a great time, as it was his first time at a wine tasting. He was the one asking our hosts all the questions. Our hosts were Richard and Rich. They were entertaining and talked to us about the wines being served. They did it in a fun and engaging way as well. The charcuterie board was decent and there were plenty of crackers to go around. The tasting room was clean and nicely decorated. We had the room to ourselves for a good hour before other parties arrived. The restroom was really clean as well.

Nestled in mature trees with soft lights to guide you, we couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our friends. Wine and champagne were served. I highly recommend their Pinot Noir, both were excellent. The staff was very kind and attentive. We had beef short rib for dinner and it was delicious. The venue would make a perfect date night stop or backdrop for a exquisite event.

She was very welcoming and got us started on the tasting. We did one of each of the tastings to try the variety. There were good wines on both selections. Having been to Napa/Sonoma I'm familiar with the wine club pitch. It did come a bit early and listened to a lot of 'upsells' to others that had stopped in to get their wine club order. As someone in sales/commercial roles, I can appreciate the hustle and recognize that Diane is very good at her role. That said, we ordered a bottle to enjoy on the patio and took some with us for the wine suitcase to bring home. The stone buildings are pretty remarkable and the patio provides a lot of room to enjoy the venue.

I have been lucky enough to have been hosted at the vineyard twice by Julie and Albert. The first time was through our connection on Instagram, and the second was as a club member to pick up my wine club shipment. They grow and produce a limited amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and only sell to their wine club and a few establishments in Los Gatos. Julie and Albert are wonderful hosts. They make each person visiting feel special and truly engage with you. At both of my visits they provide a delectable charcuterie spread of mixed that also included Julie's famous tomato jam. As someone who doesn't traditionally like tomatoes, I can say this jam is my jam! Each visit has been a unique experience to mix and mingle with other wine enthusiasts from the area. This is a place where you come a stranger but leave a friend.

Stonework lines the walkways and is a major element in the physical structures. The buildings are all quietly nestled into the hills thus preserving the rural atmosphere of the property.

I recommend a visit and bring your camera! A little bit of heaven in Silicon Valley.

Such a beautiful winery with delicious red wines!…read more I came here on passport day with my mom and a friend. You are directed to park at the top of the hill and then you take an enjoyable golf cart ride down to the tasting area. On the way day, you get to see a big portion of their beautiful grounds with benches and chairs spread out to sit on if you choose to. I'm sure you can also walk from the parking lot to the tasting area since there are pathways and steps everywhere but I opted for the fun golf cart ride. :) Their wine is fantastic. I even had a chance to meet the wine maker who is incredibly nice. He was pouring the wines and seemed to really care about everyone. They had to red wines to taste and both were so good! As an added bonus, they also had free BBQ! Can't beat that!

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. I always passed it on my walk with my dog but…read moreit has always been closed. Their hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Today I planned my visit because I just knew I couldn't keep passing this place without trying it. Upon arrival, there was a food truck there. The food truck was called Fire and Rice. I quickly glanced at the menu and headed inside. They have nice outdoor seating and stand-up tables. There is seating inside and outdoors. We were greeted by one of the owners who told us all we needed to know about Coterie Cellars. We were told about the list of wines and their flavors. We tried 3 of their wines and went with Caries Corner's Pinot Noir. We also bought a bottle of another wine we tried to take home. We grabbed a seat inside the establishment after a lovely conversation with the owners and family. We enjoyed our wine and just had to try something from the food truck. I would definitely return. The vibes were chill, the wine was great, and so was the food truck. It was too crowded although there were a few guests but two tables were available when we were ready to be seated. Please Note: Food trucks are there on Fridays and its a new food truck each time. The menu changes every couple of weeks. Tastings are only on the weekends and not on Fridays.

I love that I don't need to drive 2 hours to wine country to get some good wine - it's just "right in my backyard"! While reservations aren't mandatory, I still made one anyways as you never know how busy a Sunday afternoon can be. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the owner Kyle and (I think) Marissa. Both were so kind and attentive to our needs. Our party of 4 each got a tasting and shared 1 cheese platter. Each tasting is $20 each and each cheese platter is $20 each. My boyfriend's favorite tasting was the Rosé and mine was the Syrah. And my mom and her friend enjoyed the Pinot Noir. Kyle also gave us an extra tasting - a dessert wine to park with the dried pineapple from the cheese platter. The espresso rubbed cheese from Cowgirl Creamery was SO GOOD, honestly, wanted more of that. Overall, we had such a great experience that I joined their membership. It happened to be one of the distribution months so our entire tasting was waved. I'm excited to be apart of this winery and can't wait to join some of their weekly events this summer. TLDR; if you are looking for a winery in SJ and don't feel like driving 2 hours, I recommended visiting this spot.

After sipping on that, we chose from their 5 different tasting flights, all of which consisted of 3 wines at various prices. I went with the saison experience, which consisted of 1 white and 2 reads, and my friend the burgundy flight, which was all pinots. As we worked thorough our tastings we were delighted to be given another extra pour that was similar to our flights. Each time we were given a wine/new wine to try we were provided with some information about the grapes and the style the wine was made - tasting notes with flavor profiles for each wine were listed on the back of the menu with all the wines they had. Overall we had a great experience and both ended up going home with at least a bottle. I went home with the rosé and merlot, and I was tempted to go home with even more than one bottle of that rosé. Definitely plan to come back here and taste again sometime!
