A mile off Highway 46 on a gravel drive, is a winery and vineyard that specializes in one varietal wine—the grand grape of Burgundy, Pinot Noir. 

 

As you walk up to the metal sided winery and tasting room building you pass by a large lathe house that has been fashioned into a “wine garden” with a pea gravel floor and rustic tables and benches that look out over the hillside vineyard. At the entrance to the tasting room is a unique metal sculpted vine reaching a dozen feet tall. Inside there is a step spiral stairway leading to a small office perched above the cozy tasting room. The mustard colored walls host original art work from a local artist. Behind the small tasting bar, an interior window looks in on the barrel room. The room is notable as there is only art and wine displayed; no boutique items in sight!

 

The family owned operation specialize in 100 percent estate grown and produced, Burgundian-style, handcrafted Pinot Noir. The property is designed as a “Monopole” where it is solely owned by Marc Goldberg and Maggie D’Ambrosia who control all of the grape growing and winemaking. They will generally produce just one wine each year with the exception of certain vintages where a reserve “barrel select” is determined by the winemaker. The vineyard was planted in 1990 with four notable French Pinot Noir clones. The combination of characteristic of these clones and the dense mineralization of the soil create these notable and noble wines. Enjoy a “vertical” tasting of their recent vintages.
