This family business, led by the talented Mark Vlossak, offers personally handcrafted bottles of wine that are truly a foodie and wine enthusiast's dream. The tasting featured a seasonally-rotating menu, with five wines and small bites of food made on-site expertly paired with four of the wines.
One of the standout dishes from this tasting was the Chilled Avocado Soup with Coconut Milk. This flavor-packed soup had a light yet vibrant curry spice that elevated the taste experience to new heights. It was a perfect complement to the white wine I savored.

Feeling adventurous? Enhance the flavor profile by adding a handful of fresh cilantro or mint leaves during blending.
