"My wife and I had an amazing tasting during our visit. We elected to sample the Clone wines. Dan was an amazing host and very knowledgeable about the wines we tried. Out of all the wineries we visited this was the only Club we joined. Can’t wait to receive the shipment we purchased at the property! Even more excited about the future club shipments. Thanks for being a wonderful host and creating an amazing experience for us."
