Review of Rusack Vineyards

Stunningly beautiful pastoral setting. Bring a pic...

Stunningly beautiful pastoral setting. Bring a picnic lunch, relax, and enjoy the view with a bottle or a reasonably priced flight of wines. Listen to the birds and the gentle burbling of the fountain. Wear sneakers or heels, tie or tee shirt.
I was nonplussed when I asked for the cheese plate and was handed a lowbrow clamshell package, but its contents turned out to be exactly the right choice. This isn't a fancy restaurant that also serves wine--it's a vineyard. The cheeses, fruits, and nuts paired nicely with different wines in the flight.
One complaint, though...I'm ruined for any other winery from now on. Never gonna top this experience.
