Just visited the winery today. Welcoming staff was warm, friendly & personable. We were a bit early for our wine tasting but they were able to get us in within a 45 minute wait. That really wasn t a long time & we appreciated their being able to accommodate us.

We opted to have some lunch. My wife ordered a peach & prosciutto on whole grain artesian bread with their house salad of the day. She was thrilled. Everything was to her liking.

Evidently I ordered badly. I had their farmer lunch. I was to receive a cup of soup, a caesar salad & artesian bread. Initially I received no bread, but the server said she would bring it to me, which she did promptly.

The salad was unlike anything I have ever experienced. It was literally SWIMMING in oil of some sort. It tasted strangely like a bad Italian dressing with sweet & sour notes. The greens were so drenched in whatever that concoction was that they were inedible! The croutons were so hard that I nearly cracked a molar. The soup was okay...at best. The ingredients seemed fairly fresh but the broth had absolutely NO flavor!

In summary, my wife gave it a four & I would give my meal a zero (only because it was not possible to give the food I received a negative number) so the average is two.
