Favorite Wine: Old Vine Zinfandel!

Outstanding winery. This is a true "mom and pop" winery. The owner (wife) greeted us right at the door and told us all about the wines and their names and how they had gotten them. She was extremely pleasant and a pleasure to listen too. She showed us over to the tasting area. The tasting in this place takes a few extra minutes because this husband and wife team thought it was necessary to pair their wonderful wines with homemade dishes. So they also have a food license and cook and prepare a small sample of a variety of foods to go with your wines. The wine glasses are personally painted by the owner and the decorations inside and out are beautiful. Every wine we tasted was spectacular and we went home with a variety case because we couldn't decide.

Favorite Wine: Shiraz Cabernet

The personal touch the husband and wife put into our experience made this a delight. First, we were greeted by the owner who explained that he and his wife named Les Trois Emme (the three M's) after their three daughters and then proceeded to tell us the story behind the name of all of their wines. They had a pretty extensive selection. Then his wife took over and told us that in order to try their wines we would "have" to subject ourselves to their food pairings as well. The pairing were very very nice. The food was fabulous but the crab cakes and the melted cheese season with dillweed on a thin rye bread were my favorites. They bring their grapes from California and do all the processing then on-site. We liked several (the food pairings helped no doubt). Didn't really try the whites. My wife really liked their Old Vine Zinfandel. I liked their Shiraz Cabernet best. Although their Malbec was very tasty and very unique compared to any other Malbec I have had. It had a certain element to its flavor I found very intriguing. We would go back to this winery again for the fabulous food pairings again if nothing else. I didn't ask to confirm but I got the impression that the food is always part of the deal here.
