Came here on my honeymoon. It was very busy due to some outdoor event they were having. We tried twice to get up to a counter for a tasting, but were only able to after another group became frustrated and left. The 'bartenders' were shouting the wine profiles to us over the din of people and were obviously exhausted. Also, the whole nautical theme seemed a bit forced.

I think it would be a bit better if it wasn't so crowded. The wine was really excellent. I think that based on the great views from the winery and the variety of flavor alone, it would get 5 stars but the crazy atmosphere and small wine samples detracted from the overall experience. I would buy a bottle in the store, but I probably wouldn't go back.
