Helpful 'Rules of the Wine Road'

Ask questions... Wine tasting is your opportunity not only to educate your palate, but learn more about the wine making process - you will find tasting room staff, owners and winemakers quite congenial.

Taste in the suggested order... Always taste from whites to reds. If you've already entered the red list and wanted to try a particular white again, try another day. (*See Below)  Picking out fruit flavors in a pinot gris after the peppery zinfandels is next to impossible. If you're on the cusp of whether or not to buy a particular wine, go with your gut or come back another time to give your best attempt to taste its intricacies.

(*A suggestion.  We've found that rinsing your mouth with Sauvignon Blanc and have a cracker or bread stick, you may be able to re-set their palate.)

Designate a Driver... A prudent decision for a carefree day of tasting. There are also many local tour services available that are fun and especially affordable for groups.

Feel free to use the dump buckets set out on the tasting bar for excess wine.

Limit yourself to no more than 4 wine tastes per winery.

Children are welcome during non-event weekends, but please keep an eye on them. Most wineries have heavy equipment running, and therefore it is not safe for unsupervised children.

No one under the age of 21 may sample wine...not even your children.

Remember, don't wear scents... Don't wear perfume, cologne, or scented lotions. They WILL affect trying to pick up the aromas of the wine which will alter your perception in its taste.
