    Fantastic! Ended up buying two cases of wine after a delightful time with Dani! Don't miss the opportunity to walk through the Zinnias and grab some flowers!

    Live music on Thursday?

    They do not always have live music on Thursdays. The best thing to do is check their website for upcoming events. It is typical for them to have a themed day for example Taco Tuesdays from 4-7 pm. The direct link for the tasting room weekly events…

The food menu was interesting and offered a nice range of comfort to finer dining options. The wine menu was extensive. Both the food and wines were reasonably priced. The spicy ahi tuna bites were delicious. Fresh and flavorful ahi on top of the perfectly crunchy sushi bites that had the right amount of "QQQ" (aka chew). This paired nicely with the Sol Rouge Viognier. It seems this place also has music nights. With or without music, the food quality is definitely worth checking out. What a surprisingly nice option to have in Lake County!

Modern open interior with high ceilings, and perimeter seating with a short bar area. We ate here twice while in town, and had reservations both times. Greeted walking in at our time and seated within the same moment. The staff are all friendly, professional and kind. Our servers both visits made us feel welcome and appreciated for dining there. A concise creative menu thats better than most in the area. We started with a couple appetizers. The Spicy Ahi Crunch bites were very good, with fresh Ahi and a slice of jalepeno on top of a crunchy puff bite. We really enjoyed them and thought it was a good start. Along with their fresh baked focaccia bread with evoo and balsamic. Both were very good starters. Next we shared the large Harvest salad with poached pear, squash, brussels, walnuts and lettuce greens. This is a big salad and was easy for us to split between the two of us. A good choice as well, great textures and flavors. For my meal I went for the Black and Gold Salmon. A hearty serving with a near perfectly cooked salmon filet on top of risotto with mushrooms. A solid choice again, full flavored and well prepared. 4 Stars a solid choice for a good meal 01180

She let us each take our own pace through the tasting, and we all shared tasting notes/favourite aspects of the wine throughout the tasting. She gave us each chocolates, as well as ice cream drizzled with muscat-infused olive oil toward the end of the tasting--much appreciated and well-paired! I especially enjoyed the '21 Sauv Blanc and the '20 Orange Muscat dessert wine! They also make olive oil soaps and bath products from their olive oil harvests. I got the Rosemary Lemon soap, and the Seaweed soap (which smells like verbena and saltwater in the best way). Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area! Thank you Amber! :)

The closest was Chancewater and it is also open 7 days a week as opposed to most places in the area that are only open during the weekend. There is plenty of parking and you walk into a bar area that is set up for tastings. But we decided to sit in the larger tasting area that has their wines, barrels etc. They also sell seasonal vegetables at the bar which is a nice touch. They offer olive oil tasting but I didn't want to mix wine and oil so we didn't try the olive oil but I will definitely go back for that. They had many olive oil products for sale - soap, lotions etc. We were greeted by 2 hostesses who offered us a choice to sit at the bar or the tasting room and we choose the tasting room, it had a better ambience. We went on a Tuesday late afternoon, just before they closed at 5pm and we had the place to ourselves. The tasting room has room for at least 50 people without it feeling crowded. You get a choice of 7 tastings for $15 and you can pick what you would like to taste and we picked all whites. We had the 3 white and rose, 2 reserve whites (chardonnay and Sav Blanc) and 2 sweet wines. I am not a fan of Sav Blanc or sweet wines but the ones we tasted were very good. Their chardonnay was well worth the trip by itself. The hostess was friendly and knowledgeable and very engaging. I took one star off for the pours, they were very minimal but delicious. I would highly recommend the place and look forward to the olive oil tasting as well next time!

They have used lots of decor in remembrance of the previous business, like the big saw outside and the saw lights. Quaint establishment w/ patio seating, small bar (4 seats), good amount of tables, wooden floors. Greeted immediately with a smile. Menus, utensils and water provided quickly after we sat. Our server shared the special of the day, what wasn't currently available and when asked of his favorite quickly responded with some gems. My partner knew exactly what she wanted - Pineapple Cauliflower Salad22 (Crispy Asian cauliflower, mixed greens, cabbage, carrots, peanuts, crispy rice noodles, sesame seeds, crunchy garlic, pineapple pico, green onions, and edamame with a Basil-lime vinaigrette 1/2 Cauliflower salad). I had a bite and it was very flavorful. The cauliflower looked like orange chicken. This dish is vegan btw. I was torn between the fish and chips and the Jalapeno Bacon burger. The server said it was a favorite earlier so I went with it. (Grilled Short Rib, Brisket, Chuck patty served on a toasted brioche bun with melted cheddar cheese, bacon, fried jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, and onions with our overloaded sauce). Man was this good! The burger was juicy, the thick cuts of bacon and the sauce. Everything complimented one another nicely. They make their ketchup in house throughout the week. You can tell too! It has it's own flavor that outdoes regular ketchup. The fries were crispy, lightly salted and just enough. Service was friendly. We were checked on throughout our meal to ensure the food was good and so were we. They do offer a rewards program we signed up for. This is definitely going to be a go to spot for us. Can't wait to explore the menu!

The ahi was unrecognizable to taste. It did look appetizing, but the taste was really off. We were there during their live band night. That was a great time. It is too bad that the ahi was so rough. On the other side, one of my family members had the special pork dish (some sort of pork tenderloin) and it was bland. The dish was pretty pricey and for the $40 that is was, it could have been flavored. The fried cauliflower and garlic bread were fantastic though.

Scopa has "Winemaker Wednesdays" in which it invites local winemakers to pour their product by the glass, 1/2 bottle or bottle, and talk about their wine. We tried a number of Chiarito's wines, including the Zin and the Nero D'Avola, which is apparently a Silician wine. It was lush, inky, and just a bit different than anything I'd ever tasted.

We tried a Sicilian Nero d'Avola the first night and ordered it again every night of our stay. It was thus a great pleasure indeed to try Chiarito's Nero d"Avola and experience another take on Nero d"Avola, the black grape of Sicily. Chiarito's is to die for - in fact one of the most famous chefs in Sicily (and all of Italy) also carries it on his wine list - amazing. It's grown organically (although not certified) and dry farmed - yet another reason to love this wine. I've bought a case recently of both the Negroamaor and the Nero d'Avola and will certainly be going back for more! The winery is not really open for tours but is a very wonderful place to visit. The wine club has a great party each year!
