I went to Napa, had a great time, spent a fortune on wine.. and bought several bottles of wine that I tasted.
But, the bottles I tasted (in several wineries) were 04’s and 05’s.. but when I got home and looked at what I bought they were all 2007??
I tried one of the bottles and it was too sour and wasn’t ready to drink. Is this customary or was I ripped off???
Hi All,
I rented a limo bus for my birthday to take me and 16 of my friends wine tasting through napa valley. i was seeing if anyone out there knew of particular wineries that are exceptionally fun, above the rest. I am going with a lively, fun group straight out of college and we are looking to have a great time so keep that in mind when giving suggestions. Also, if you know of any free places, that is always appreciated!
Thanks all!!!
CHEERS!
My boyfriend and I went wine tasting this weekend; it wasn’t one those tours where they show you around the vineyard. Basically you go up to the front counter and the girl behind the counter gave us 5 different types of wines to try and told us a bit about them.
When we walked out the door, my boyfriend and I looked at each other and were like "Were we supposed to tip her?"
This was our first time doing any sort of wine tasting.
Does anyone know the proper etiquette? We had a great time and plan on going again soon.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Do you have advice about very good/the best vineyards/wineries in the Santa Barbara area?
I would like a place where my friends and I can wine taste for free or cheap ( we are all a bit broke..and I’ve never done this so i don’t know if they are usually free with at least a few bottle purchases, or if you have to pay for wine tasting seperately). We will probably buy a few bottles anyway.
Also, can we bring our own stuff and picnic there? do people do that? is that an additional fee? I’m not sure if we want a tour of the vineyard or the wine making process, buts a nice option to have.
I just don’t know anything. But i do want a nice place with an awesome ambience to have a great time with friends..and hope that it won’t cost an arm and a leg.
I appreciate any advice about specific places in the area. I would also appreciate advice about facts to consider and anything about how things are do

Thanks, but I already knew about the site…I wanted personal experience kid of suggestions for places though…like if youve been to a particular one you would recommend.

Thanks, but I don’t really need a site with a list of vineyard, I can do that search on my own (i have in fact). I would like some personal experience kind of advice, not a list of available places in the county.
