Alpha Omega is worth a stop
comiso90,
I visited this winery in 2007 and 2008. I was very impressed by the quality of the wine and the friendly staff. In February 2008, there is a lot of construction going on but don't let that dissuade you. The fact that they're right off the main road may be a turn off for some but they are not a "wine mill" / tourist trap -- The wine is spectacular!

One of the Best New Wineries
Ochs, Savoy
Just off St. Helena Highway, is the tasting room of the former Esquisse, which you may have visited in the past. The tasting room was purchased by a new winery Alpha Omega. But there's nothing new about it. The owners have a long history of vineyard management and winemaking. They brought in Jean Hoefliger, winemaker originally from Switzerland, but trained in France with top French wine consultant, Michel Rolland. The wines show the heavy French influence in their style and finesse. Both whites and reds are outstanding. I can't pick a favorite wine here, because I ended up buying a few of each one to bring home, but the Proprietary Red was fantastic. The first time we visited Alpha Omega, we tasted in the old tasting room. Since then, they have renovated, and built a much larger, architecturally beautiful tasting room. The high ceilings and glass walls make for a sophisticated ambiance. The bar is now longer to accommodate more people. The outside deck and pond area is still being reconstructed as I write, but should become a relaxing place to sip wine. Alpha Omega also offers classes in various things such as blending juices or harvesting grapes. This is one wine club I really recommend joining. We tried their first vintage release, and with their plans for the future, they are only going to get better.

Very Good People & Wines

We were treated so well here that we can't say enough about the place. It is a new venture in a old spot along the highway and has great ambitious plans. The wines they are making now are really good and I am looking forward to when their reds will have a little more age on them.
