PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY:
Please help us with our goal of responsible wine service… No winery will continue to serve or sell wine to any guest who appears intoxicated, even if they have a limo or designated driver. It is against the law. We recommend limiting the number of wines you sample at each winery and we encourage you to take advantage of dump buckets provided for excess wine. Please be aware of those around you as you wait at the tasting bar for your sample, and make room for others to enjoy their wine tasting experience as well.
