    Yum! Delightful local wine owned by locals! So happy to have been able to attend an event here and learn more about them. The sommelier was lovely and made wine tasting super approachable. The owner is fun, knowledgeable, and dedicated to his craft. I'm excited to attend more of their events! Such a pretty a space in the heart of old town.

    This is a very cute wine bar tucked in Old Town! They have a great wine selection and extremely kind staff. They only have a few outside seating areas, and the inside ambiance is a bit subpar. I did enjoy it but I think its hard to not compare it to the winery next door! Overall I would return but it wouldn't be my top wine bar choice in the old town square.

    What can I say that I have not already said over the past 8 years of reviews regarding my mostest favorite winery ev-ahhhh?!? Sheehan is da top shelf high grade zenith bad ma'am-a jam-ma of New Mexico nectar, and I may be understating the situation.... If you've never heard Sean Sheehan share the "birth story" of this winery, or all of the delicate intrinsic details of the grape and its processes... you're missing out. It really should be on your bucket list. *Are we sure Sean wasn't part of "THE JASONS" brought over to the U.S. to work on matters of an "alchemical sensitive nature," and this winery is just his cover? Can anyone confirm or deny?!? Cause his brew is pure magic* Over the moon that this tasting room has opened in Old Town, and joining the wine club is really the only path, my friends. So many perks, and by far the most sensical way to stock your apocalypse bunker pantry shelves and secure your future happiness....am I right, or am I right?!? My recommendations? Well, Chambourcin is my love language, but let it be said that there is much more to be explored in the Sheehan-multiverse. The Cinsault Rosé is such a brilliant gem (speaking from someone who doesn't really do "Rosé") - that Tempranillo, tho...buenissimo! My most recent discovery is the Ollpheist - scrump-didly-umptious! And I also took home a bottle of the 2022 Cabernet Savignon on my most recent visit which was truly mahvelous, dahlings. I could go on, but I'm gettin' thirsty....Cin Cin! Salud! Sláinte! Cheers!

    This is a cute winery located in Old Town Albuquerque. It is a bit hidden as are most of the shops in Old Town. There is no food here but you can bring food in from other places around, we did not do this. The person working on the day we went was fairly new so I am glad I had read the reviews before going as she really did NOT tell us much about the wines nor the wine flights. We did get 1 wine flight to share which I believe was called the New Mexico flight. The wines were good but again the person working really needed more training as the pours were not great. When asking what the pours were 2 oz or 3 oz she pointed to an imaginary line on the glass.

    If your looking for a local winery and a place to try a taste and see what you like, or what would pair good with a food. This place is a great start. It's located in Old town which is a great location. I walked in and got greeted right away, found a nice place to sit, plenty of tables and nice atmosphere. I was given a menu and a explanation of what each section to look for. Sweet, dry...ect. The menu had a good selection and choices. I picked 3 of the sweet wines. I was given a good amount to taste and along with the wine you have a choice to get a charcuterie to go along with the tasting. They didn't have the meat one so I went with the cheese, with some fruit, nuts and veggies which was fine. I liked all 3 wines but my favorite was the #2. Not sure what other places there are for local wine tasting but, I was happy to have tried this place first.

    What a fun tasting room. The service was great. We appreciated the information shared with us about the wines. We ordered some nibbles... which were yummy. I wish we had real plates and utensils to use instead of landfill-bound items. Perhaps they can reconsider this as they do have a dishwasher... it would actually save money (and our planet).

    Sheehan Winery Old Town Albuquerque (6/13/2023)

    Through our Yelp ambassador and fellow New Mexico resident Destiny L., I learned about the Sheehan Winery Old Town Tasting Room. Sheehan is the namesake of its owner with vineyards that I know of in at least Albuquerque and Las Cruces. Although I don't make it up to Albuquerque often as it is a 5-hour drive from where I currently reside, I ensured this was at the top of my bookmarks when I said goodbye to my daughters and ex-husband on 6/13/2023. I'm glad I did as Lucy, my server, was super informative and friendly! I opted to do the "Taste of New Mexico" tasting. It had five wines to select from which is $15 per person, but Lucy - who also organizes the book club here - offered to let me do a side-by-side tasting of both rosés. They also have a "choose your own flight" option with 6 tastings. If that does't suit your fancy, you can have a glass of wine or there were a couple of cocktails and I think beer that they offered. I had traveled to a few vineyards in Mexico and Southern California last summer. It is true that New Mexico wines tend to be on the sweeter side. Taste of New Mexico Flight: #1 - Gruner Vetliner. I really enjoyed this white wine. Gladly, I bought a bottle ($24). #2 - Dry Rosé or Semi-Sweet Rosé. As previously mentioned, I got to try both. I could not decide which I enjoyed more. #3 - Olliphiest. All I wrote in my notes for this one was "okay." Lol. Day drinking after being up since 5AM is all I can say. #4 - ELG Mourvedre. This one has grapes from the border of France & Spain, but they now hail from Las Cruces. I loved this red wine. It was good and smooth. I can envision a green chile dish paired with this! So I bought a 2020 bottle ($25). #5 - Red port or white port. I chose the red. It was too sweet for me. Should have brought snacks to solve that problem. It's a lovely little shop in the very unique, historic area of Old Town Albuquerque. Add this place to your bookmarks the next time you're in the area. RATING BREAKDOWN Wine: 5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4.5 | Price: 4

    Friendly staff with nice wine knowledge. The location is big and bright, open with lots of seating. The wines kept our interest. It's a nice place to get apick me up.

    There are quite a few wine tasting rooms across Albuquerque and New Mexico as a whole. If you want to say you've tried them all, Sheehan must be on that list. Specifically their new-ish tasting room in Old Town. On top of always friendly staff, Sheehan has one of the smaller but cleaner menus of the different wineries in town. They still have a decent sized menu but less frill than some of the other wineries. I personally prefer sweetish-whites but there really is something for everyone. Plus you can order food from one of the nearby spots to enjoy with your wine. I highly recommend ordering a wine flight to try a few different ones for your perfect fit. The staff is always happy to give recommendations too. Just adding, it is the perfect time of year to stop by. Taste some wine and view the holiday lights of Old Town.

    Friendly, clean, inviting and had both indoor and outdoor seating and was very dog friendly. I Would recommend if in the Old Town.

    My friend Merry and I are a little bit of winos. She was looking for a local winery with a wine club to join. We stopped into the Old town tasting room and were blown away. I'm ever the realist, and so I wanted to wait to join the wine club until we had tasted the wine. Merry was already all in from reading about them. The Old Town tasting room is a cute place to unwind. Like most of Old Town, it's quiet, and they have plenty of seating. They have a cute little store and beautiful artwork for sale on the walls. Upstairs is a lounge for wine club members, and they also do private parties. They are a small winery and they do wax instead of foil. They hand dip the wax themselves, no machine. It's personalized touches like that, that make them feel homey. They have quite a wine selection, more than is on the menu. I have not had wine there that I disliked; everything is just a varying degree of deliciousness. Whether you like sweet or dry, red or white, they have something that will appeal to even the most discerning of wine lovers. Since they tell you about the wine in great detail before you try it, you are very unlikely to end up with a wine you dislike. One of my current favorites is the Turas. It's a red port described as "Notes of rich blackberry, toasted caramel, and rich chocolate make this a perfect wine to pair with dessert...or as dessert." It was an oopsy wine and boy am I glad they had the happy accident. It's made with merlot grapes that were too sweet for merlot so they added brandy to it and made a port. Their 2019 Grand Reserve Cabernet is also amazing. It's smooth and leaves you with lingering flavor. There are many more wines that I enjoy but I'll leave you with this, you should go try it for yourself, you'll find something you love.

    happy 2nd anniversary to sheehan winery tasting room! love coming out her and supporting local. I always have the friendliest staff and awesome experiences I highly recommend the tasting to friends and family visiting abq! did i tell you that the wines won medals too?

    Being somewhat of connoisseurs of vino and having relocated from an area notoriously excellent for offering so many vineyards and wine tasting- we have been amazed... that the Southwest has so many qualities that stand out. As you well know, if you're a wine connoisseur, it is subjective and varying from one's own taste and inclination. Due to rather diverse variances in each experience, or attempt to compare one winery, vineyard, grape or wine to another, I have developed a method in scoring that will give both the occasional novice wine taster or the most sophisticated connoisseur a bearing on each establishment by visited, based on our single, or sometimes multiple visits to each location. My tastings included offerings from Corrales and Bosque Farms vineyards eliciting excellent renditions of Merlot and Chardonnay, and from Elyce Vineyards very good Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Heretofore my guidelines are: 1) the owner/operators' attention to their customers and hospitality [ Scored:4.0 ]; 2) activities, events and/or meals, munchies, entertainment [ Scored:2.5 ]; 3) wine selection, quality, taste and varieties [ Scored:4.0 ]; and 4) heavily weighted on our taste [ Scored:5.0 ]; as well as 5) value, consistency and price of the product [ Scored:4.5 ]. None of the aforementioned are in any particular order of value. The scale being 1 the worst, 5 the best and recommended and our overall assessment by score, Sheehan scores a 4.0! Check it out.

You get to pick anything from their menu. We tried a fabulous orange colored wine and the special New mexican green chile wine. I'm not sure if I'd want a whole glass of that - but it was fun to try. My stomach was a little tired of green chile at this point. We had a fabulous time walking around the adjoining art gallery, sitting on the patio, strolling thru the gift shop. This is such a fabulous space.

    August 21, 2026 - Old Town, Albuquerque…read more We poked our heads in to ask about outdoor seating since we had our pup with us, and were greeted by a super friendly employee who pointed us toward the patio in front of the building. Dog-friendly seating? Off to a good start. We decided to do some wine tastings and share a charcuterie board. There was a different employee in this part of the winery. My husband mentioned that he couldn't have gluten and asked if there was a gluten-free alternative to the bread/crackers. Imagine my surprise when the board arrived with... tortilla chips. For a place that also specializes in gourmet foods, I was expecting something a little more exciting than chips. Gluten-free crackers, anyone? The wines were nice, and we really enjoyed sitting outside. The only other slight downer was the service. When I went inside for another tasting, I casually asked the server, "How's your day going?" His response: "I'm here." Well... I guess technically that answers the question. Clearly, he was having an off day. It happens, but you can't help but pick up on that energy when you're trying to relax and enjoy some wine. Overall, we had a nice time, enjoyed the patio with our pup, and even bought a bottle of Tighty Whitey White to take home. A couple of little misses, but nothing that would keep us from coming back.
