Bardenheier Wine Cellars & Restaurant (written Jul 25, 2011)
Wine: 2 stars Winery: 1 stars Ambiance: 1 stars

This was a visit that we will never forget. When we first got to the "winery", we thought that we had missed our destination. The building was, apparently, an old bar just off of the highway. When we went inside, the air was so full of cigarette smoke that my wife could barely breathe. Someone was belting out an old honky-tonk tune on a karaoke machine at such a loud volume that we couldn't hear what the person serving us had to say. He had to clear off the tasting bar for us because he had some piece of eloctronic equipment in pieces on the counter. The wines that we tasted were not too bad but the experience in and of itself was terrible. The person doing the tasting was very friendly but we couldn't hear most of what he said because of the karaoke. This is not an experience that we will ever want to repeat. We won't be going back.

Wine: 3 stars Winery: 4 stars Ambiance: 4 stars

We enjoyed our visit and were suitably impressed with the wines. Erv was very friendly, knowlegable and hospitable. He informed us up front that there was a $5 each tasting fee but that included the glass. All in all, this was a very positive visit.
