The editorial take
A winery tasting room that leads with its wines: a 5-pour flight for $15, an extensive list of reds, whites, and dessert wines, and tours that pair five wines with cheese. The cocktail list runs to classics and signatures like the Stoney J's Old Fashion, while two Creature Comforts taps and a modest spirits selection round out the bar. Wine club tiers and a cheese-paired tour give regulars and visitors reasons to linger.
