Stopped by on my drive around the lake on a sleepy winter weekend to start my ClearLake vacation…read more To start it was just me with Kendall serving up my wine tasing. Got to chat all about Nebraska and how his family ended up here making wine. What an interesting story. Kendall is a true renaissance man. Soon a group of friends and some wine members joined us. Had a lovely chat with everyone and got recommendations on hikes, restaurants, etc. And I got super lucky- It's restaurant week in town! The area is gorgeous. The tasting room is lovely especially with all of Kendall's stained glass artwork. The outdoor patio is super welcoming and if it hadn't been a cold/windy day sitting outside would have been awesome. I'm told that in the summer they have Thursday night parties with food/music etc which sounds amazing. And they serve a Frose in the summer. Can't recommend this place more. PS- The Pinot Noir was my favorite.

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS WINE! I ordered a case sent to Atlanta GA and it was a mixed of 2008-2009…read more It was over priced and I poured the first glass with the bottled cork in it. I took 6 wine bottles to our Country Club to our "Ladies who Lunch and Love Fine Wine" and I was totally embarrassed the Wine Master couldn't get the cork out in one piece. We open 6 bottles and we drank cork we every sip. So, DO NOT BUY THIS WINE because it tastes like aged vinegar and cork! I have been a member of this "Ladies who Lunch who Love Fine Wine" for 15 years and I was so humiliated. So, lesson learned. I called Mitch, the owner of Hawk & Horse and he did NOT offer any suggestions. I ordered a 2022 bottle and it had the same problem. Mitch is too cheap to sell his "fine & over priced wine" with a proper cork. Forger the 4K I spent with supporting a small business owner (only 13 acres) I will never get over the humiliation from these women who trusteed me. After calling Mitch, the owner who needs to retire. He was hostile and on speaker phone at the luncheon. He has LOST all of his ATLANTA business. We are Southern and we talk and tell it All. Thanks Mitch for telling us that the CALI way is NOT our WAY!!!!

The service was prompt but not a lot of talk about the wines, unfortunately. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We brought a picnic so we had to sit outside.

We sat outside in Adirondack chairs under large shady trees, and enjoyed a Classic Tasting ($15). They welcomed our pup -- even brought him treats! -- and were fine with us enjoying our own road trip "car-cuterie", even though they sell charcuterie style snacks in the tasting room. Cache Creek is a bit too far out of the way for regular visits, but anytime we traverse Hwy 20 to the coast & back, I will put in a request for a stop here!

After pouring thru the many winery options, confusing myself more than coming to a decision as to…read morewhich would be "best", some local friends suggested Wild Diamonds. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the weather, overcast and cloudy with some sun finally appearing toward the end. But still had some amazing views. The wines were all very good with some being standouts. The number and size of the tastings were more than acceptable. Our host Jazzlynn was personable and informative. She had nothing but positive things to say about the winery, owners, winemaker and working there--all pluses in my book as I love supporting family-run businesses who care about their employees. The drive up the mountain to get to Wild Diamonds in Lake County is nice and also provides for the great scenery while tasting in the "rooms with a view". With enough notice (48 hours) they can have charcuterie boards available for you. I thought I also heard them say you're welcome to bring your own--but don't quote me on that... verify! If you want to get away from the commercialized options in Napa and Sonoma, you won't go wrong at Wild Diamonds!

(Doesn't have to be romantic; can also be fun with girlfriends!) This is an absolutely beautiful 3-bedroom home equipped with everything you can think of for a good time: full kitchen, dining area, patio with BBQ grill, fire pit, plenty of tables and chairs, and we even saw hammocks hanging on some trees! The rooms can be individually booked, or you can book all three for your friends and family. The home sits on a vineyard, so you get to taste their delicious wines. In the dining/living room area, you have access to games and a projector that is connected to Apple TV, so you can project a movie on the wall! How cool is that?! DANIEL gave us the best wine-tasting experience we have ever had. His explanations were thorough and very interesting. It went beyond the "peppery notes with hints of berries" descriptions you usually get at wineries. He explained the winemaking process because he has done it all, from planting grapes to making wine. And he was very kind and patient with all of our questions. And up the hill a little bit there is another home that they rent as well, and if it is vacant, you get full access to the pool! Another thing I appreciated now during covid is that the entire home was very clean! No carpet in the rooms (which makes it feel instantly cleaner already), the sheets smelled of fresh laundry detergent, and the shower was spotless. The rooms also have beautiful wooden patios. And then in the morning, we got a delicious hot breakfast by Gunay! She was so sweet and hospitable. On a sad note, they no longer have the llamas or sheep. But it is still a great experience! Also, don't be scared when you are following the GPS to arrive here! It's literally in the middle of no where! In conclusion to my short novel, we will definitely be returning with friends and enjoy all of the amenities!
