We were warmly greeted by Rori, our server (also our server last year). We chose 6 wines to sample and Rori poured and explained each wine to us. This young woman really knows her stuff. We ordered a small cheese board to enjoy with our final wine choices. This was more than just a stop for wine; it was an experience. I highly recommend the wines, the food and the friendly and knowledgeable staff. we'll be back.

Plenty of samples to be had before making our final decision. I had the Ribeye and my wife had the smoked ribs. Meal was served on plastic plates as this is not a restaurant. Do not let this deter you from this place. Both were to excellent. Ribs were nice and Smokey. We had the option of dining inside or out. We opted for inside due to 90° weather. Inside is in the renovated 100 yr old barn. Great atmosphere with plenty of knickknacks and signage to purchase. The views are awesome here as this winery is out in the country. The prices were very reasonable and would highly recommend this place to anybody.

Have a close look, it's for real. The selection is fantastic. If you show up on a Friday night you can enjoy some of the best food you will have within 100 miles. The value is there too so you won't break the bank. This is a great place, with a great staff.

We ordered drinks and two special appetizers, shrimp in a spicy cream sauce and pork belly bits with diced mango. Both were delicious. For our mains, we chose: Sassy Chicken Thighs and Brown Sugar Brined Pork Chop. The chicken thighs melted in my mouth. We spoke at length with the manager after our dinner and tried to guess the ingredients in the outstanding sauces. The sassy sauce had in addition to the honey and Dijon, some cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Not too spicy, just enough zip to make it interesting. The pork chop was also amazing. Tender and juicy with a cherry balsamic glaze. We would definitely recommend a visit and plan to return the next time we're in town.

The menu was several pages but only one page with food, drinks were the remainder. We got the dipper appetizer and I had the Sassy Chicken Thighs. Both were good and the thigh was boneless. My wife had the loaded potato salad, asparagus, and broccoli which she enjoyed. My son had the Steak Sliders with the potato salad which he really enjoyed. I suppose when the chef can master a menu there's no need for multiple pages. I misjudged and would definitely come back if I'm in town again.
