Favorite Wine: Pokey Red

August 18, 2013 Addendum: visited on this Saturday evening. The band was playing and the crowd was huge. I think this was the biggest crowd we have seen at a winery anywhere. Two wine tasting notes: 1. I really liked their 2012 Dry Vignoles. Definitely 4 stars. Wow. A wine I REALLY like this close to home. Second, JAV doesn't have the red wine thing down yet. Their sweet reds and all their whites are obviously drawing in the crowds and I like them as well. But dry reds are not the reason to come here. We love the setting with the gardens and landscaping. Makes for a very relaxing day. Their sweet wines are what they do best. However it is nice to see they are expanding more into the dry reds. The Pokey Red is a good start. Their Norton has a ways to go yet. Sweet wines worth noting are Edelweiss, Snappy White, Heartland White and Amo Te.

Favorite Wine: Heartland White

The WineGoobers chose James Arthur for a December gathering. We arrived shortly after they opened and settled in with a bottle of Heartland White. It was fruity, and sweet but not TOO sweet. We liked it so much that we had another bottle later on! We also tried Edelweiss, San Realto (not so great..a bit like a bubbly T.J. Swan!). We tried the Sparkling Edelweiss, which was also good, but not as good as the regular Edelweiss. The employees were friendly, the atmosphere was delightful, and we all agreed this was a great afternoon out!

Very spacious with great landscaping. I enjoyed most of the wines a lot.
