The first winery we visited this trip was Far Niente. The place is absolutely stunning, and the grounds are pristine. This was the one Mrs H most wanted to visit. We had reservations for their top tasting, and the setting did not disappoint. After the tour of the winery and caves we were sat in a little gazebo at the edge of their property along To Kalon creek. It really could not have been a more pleasant setting, just gorgeous. The family also has a nice little car collection onsite. Unfortunately, we really didn’t care that much for the wine. I did bring 2 bottles home, and also signed up for their white wine club. Why would I sign up for a wine club for a winery that I really didn’t enjoy, and buy 2 bottles to bring home? The first shipment is all that was required, and then I can cancel. Our tour guide said he would wipe out the tasting cost for both of us if we did it. The cost of the shipment and the 2 bottles of cab were about the same price as our tasting. In essence, free wine. Twist my arm. Today that shipment arrived. It shipped via Vinum55. It was chilled when it arrived. Nice!
