Chaumette Vineyards and Winery (written Aug 25, 2008)
Wine: 2 stars Winery: 5 stars Ambiance: 4 stars
nice place. The staff was knowledgable and friendly. I wasn't impressed with the wines. They seemed a little young and very acidic to be tasting without a meal. Guess we should have planned to have lunch at the beautiful outdoor cafe.

This place, while I'm sure impressive to some, reminded me of an airplane terminal when we first arrived. It was very crowded, the staff seemed uninformed about the product, and they don't even recycle the empties. Maybe a visit on a weekday would be better, but it was just too commercial for us.

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Listening to bluegrass music, sharing cheese and sausage with the dogs, taking in the breathtaking valley, and drinking a wonderfully chilled bottle of chardonel. Much better than the mega bottlers down the road.

went to the grand opening Oct 7. Beautiful facility, what a view! Loved the traminette, as well as the norton and chambourcin, the blends were good too.
