I wish I had something pleasant to post here, but considering the old, bitter owner told us to leave his property just because we got there 30 minutes prior to opening and I let my dog out on her leash to stretch her legs (we were standing in the driveway... she was not relieving herself). He was rude and when I stated that we were there to do business he said he didn't need our business and told us to get off his property that it was posted no trespassing on the front of the winery building... ooooook. Also as a side note, his vinyard was obviously ill-tended and overgrown with weeds, and the winery itself was an old mechanic's shop/gas station... also run down and ill-kept.

Very unique and incredible wines. This is not just a hobby to these people. Their selection is fantastic, and they have a restaurant over their tasting room that is open on Friday and Saturday nights.

This winery is located in a sleepy bedroom community called Cole Camp. BEAUTIFUL little german-heritage town. The winery is located in town so you don't see the vinyards at this one, but the building is wonderful.
Nice selection of wines... a pretty good apple wine, but I suggest the Rosawein.

One of the few wineries that offer Mead. Pretty good selection, but seems that they have a different selection at Berbiglia liquor store than in their winery. Located in an old church, across the street from a fine cafe, and around the corner from a brewery on a historic Weston street.

Very nice people. Good selection of wares in the shop. Overall fairly average though.

Not a huge selection, but some good ones nonetheless. The tasting was done out of plastic shots instead of actual wine glasses, but the man running the place was excited about his product and seemed to know what he was talking about.
Bristle Ridge Vineyards (written Dec 29, 2008)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
Wonderful people, and some pretty good wines. They have some GREAT specialty/seasonal wines on top of their regular wine list. The view from the winery is spectacular. Great place to sit and relax.
