"Pros: great small family boutique style winery. Non pretentious, very good selection. I wondered in because I want to support our small vineyards who stay true and are not selling out, no matter how tough it is. With that being said: Con: did not get much information about the wines, what makes them so good, terrain, terroir, climate. I did hear it's 900 feet elevation which makes it different from Nampa, but not sure how. So unfortunately I did not learn much. I did learn it's 5th generation... But that's it. I did buy a 90 dollar Cab which is average for Nampa, but missed the quaint , personal attention ... Which is why it was recommended. But... Will visit again .perhaps they need some help in serving and knowing of what makes them special (other than 5 generations) which I must have heard about 6x. All in all great place, good wine for sure and worth a visit."
