We had such a great experience and really did not taste a wine we did not like. This second time was special just for the fact we got to revisit and sample some new wines but got to meet up with y'all and Laurie. The "Nickel" tour was a nice added treat. This place screams awesomeness and their wines keep out pacing the winery's name. Getting to meet Gene Estes the owner and wine maker Jim Evans really made the time spent there truly great. My favorite wine was the Gewürztraminer with out all the sugar. I think that has a promise and possibly a market for the dry white drinkers of Texas!
