We failed to make…read morereservations but Mark (owner) accommodated us as there was another party about to start their passport wine tasting. We were able to join the group. As we chatted with the other party, we learned that Siboney Cellars makes a delicious Cuban Sandwich. Will definitely come back to give that a try. As part of the Passport wine tasting, we were offered 4 different wines plus a small food pairing including toasted Cuban bread, Spanish Chorizo, Brie, Onion Bacon Jam and homemade Fudge. Everything was delicious and wine so smooth. I don't normally like Rose Wine but Barbara (owner/wine maker) did a great job, for all their wines. We learned a lot about wines and the vineyard during the food and wine tasting. Mark was so informative and a wealth of knowledge. We felt so special during our visit. Even though I have hundreds of bottles of wines at home, I left with 3 bottles. If you have not been, you should definitely stop by. In fact, there will be another Texas Wine passport event in late March to late April. We will definitely come back!!

The…read moreperson conducting the wine tasting was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, and informative, especially when explaining the regions of Israel from which the wines originated. Each tasting felt like a small journey through the Holy Land, with the history, geography, and character of the region thoroughly explained along the way. The facility was very clean, the winery was well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and enjoyable. Another thing I greatly appreciated was not running into the endless bachelorette parties that can ruin the atmosphere at other vineyards with loud entrances, screaming, belligerent drunken rants, and women swinging from the hanging lights like animals. Sometimes you just want to enjoy good wine, good conversation, and actually learn something about what you're drinking. Biblically speaking, Jesus turned water into wine--yes. But He certainly didn't lead by example by getting drunk. Scripture allows wine and speaks of enjoying it with gladness, but drunkenness is another matter entirely. Drinking to be merry is one thing. Drinking for the purpose of getting drunk is another. Peter understood this very well: "For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles--when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries." -- 1 Peter 4:3 (NKJV) "In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you." -- 1 Peter 4:4 (NKJV) And if you don't think that's biblical, come at me--I'll show you my biblical namesake! Andrew knew Peter pretty well. After all, they were brothers! Overall, Mendelbaum Cellars provided exactly what I want from a wine tasting: good wine, a peaceful setting, knowledgeable conversation, and an experience that actually teaches you something about where the wine comes from. I would gladly visit again.

Mr. Crowson (the father of Henry Crowson - the owner and winemaker, who might be a co-owner but is definitely very involved at the winery) welcome us in for a wine tasting. Since we were the only people there, it ended up being a very private, personal experience! Mr. Crowson tried the wines with us and talked to us about each. He also told us about the Crowson's non-interventionist approach to winemaking. If you enjoy or are interested in natural wine, low/no intervention wine, orange wine, or any other term that's being used right now, Crowson should definitely be on your list for a day or weekend of wine tasting in the 290/Fredericksburg/Johnson City area! (I am a fan of the low/no intervention movement, and I knew I wanted to visit Crowson when we were in the area! It's the most natural/low-intervention of all wineries in the area that I am aware of!) The wines we tasted were interesting and delicious and varied (not a tasting where all the wines take remarkably similar). The space is charming, beautiful, and very comfortable, and Mr. Crowson played some great records during our visit which added even more fun to the experience! And of course, the customer service couldn't get better than a personal tasting with Mr. Crowson, who made this a very special visit. This is a smaller winery, so I recommend you reach out to them to schedule a visit, so you can be sure they are there and open. Because you don't want to a miss a visit to this very special winery.

Crowson came highly recommended from our friend who lives in Austin, so we made a reservation for 6 people on a Saturday for a wine tasting. They are taking Covid precautions, everything was socially distanced, our tasting was outside (and thankfully they had heaters so we were quite nice and warm), and everyone was wearing masks! The wine was absolutely delicious and we all loved the wine we had here. One of only two places in Texas that has natural wines (nothing added). This is a very cozy, homey, winery- they make you feel so welcome, are very gracious and just a fun time ! Henry and his dad were a delight. Highly recommend this place!
