AXR Winery

Ok, don’t go here. OMG, kidding. GO HERE. This is one of those dangerous kinds of wineries where everything sorta clicks and you’ll walk away with a membership in a heartbeat. We had to kindly remind ourselves a dozen times we already belong to too many clubs (and we have to go to a place at least twice before joining their club - a rule that’s saved our butts more than once).

Anyway, after a lovely tour through their redwood groves (with tasting pitstops along the way), you head into this lovely farmhouse chic (even kinda beachy) tasting room.

The line-up did not disappoint. Lucky for us, we tasted with friends who are members and even got to try a few library selections, including a Sleeping Lady and a To Kalon (if you know, you know).

Yes, those are potato chips with cheese…gaaah!

Another one where we walked away with a facepalming amount of wine. The Ganzin Chardonnay was killer. Ripened pear on the nose, a weighty mouthfeel and a spicy pear that lingers on the finish. And all of the cabs were absolutely incredible, but the lush, well-balanced Denali really shined.
