We scheduled a tour and tasting at HALL. The grounds and winery were beautiful. I was pretty drunk from the winery before but I think I remember the wine being good too... Our tour guide Ray I'm STILL laughing about. He was super nice but I've never met someone that could talk so much. He would ramble on monologue-style for 20 minutes in the same spot without taking a breath or asking anyone a question. I kept shuffling my feet and clearing my throat to give him a clue like okay dude let's move on. If I was an old person I would have passed out standing there. He would glance at me confused why I was interrupting and then keep rambling. On multiple occasions, I thought "Are we being punk'd? Is he waiting for someone to say something? Is he just making this stuff up?" The tour was also pretty salesy - 50% of it felt like we were on a wedding venue tour. Eventually I tuned him out and just enjoyed the artwork and scenery. I wish we had time afterward to hang out WITHOUT Ray (lol) and enjoy some wine on the grounds, but they closed as soon as the tour was over. Skip the tour and just come for a tasting or to hang out.
