The Cottage Winery was not on our original itinerary but was recommended to us after another winery we wanted to visit was closed for Thanksgiving week. The property is beautifully situated on a hillside with views of the vineyards and mountains. You couldn’t ask for a more scenic setting. They have two tasting rooms joined by a massive deck, and areas below for cornhole and other games for the families.
My wife and I shared two tastings so we could maximize our experience with their wines. Madison poured for us and explained that their wines were made from estate and Lodi, CA sourced fruit. She was so nice, and the rest of the staff were very friendly, but unfortunately, not well educated on the wines they were pouring. Several times (and from several people), we heard the comment, “I don’t know, I just work here” and “they don’t tell us these things” in response to us asking specific questions about the wines, sources of the fruit, aged in stainless or barrels, etc. Granted, we can be “wine snobs”, but this was basic info that they should be able to tell customers. I blame management for a lack of proper training. In general, we tended to like the wines that were made with the CA fruit. They also sell snacks, meat & cheese trays, and other beverages. The day we visited, they had a local food truck selling pizzas, which looked darn good, as well as live music in the Penner Tasting Room.
As I always say when it comes to wines, what I like/dislike may be different than you, so I recommend you give them a try for yourselves. Find a wine you like, buy a glass or bottle, admire the views, and enjoy!
