That is some tall mustard. Me standing between some vines at Round Pond. Last Saturday I put on my best 'tourist' outfit and headed north to Rutherford.
There is a tasting bar, but we chose the sit down experience. My legs were cold, so they turned on the overhead heaters and handed me a soft blanket for my lap. Very classy Round Pond.
I guess we are messy tasters. Extra points for the Acqua Panna, nice touch.
I like the labels, it's a style I chose for my own LUXIA labels (except for the bottom).
And, if you are on the fence about visiting I hope the snack bites will tip you over the edge. Wonderful food pairing: salmon with the Sauvignon blanc, lamb meatball with the Rutherford Cab and slider with the Proprietary Red.
And they make syrups. We bought a Meyer Lemon syrup. TK's going to put it on pancakes, I'll try to make a salad dressing with it.
From inside the tasting room there is a hole to see the winery below. We didn't get a tour of the facilities, but the uniques design makes me want to go back and check out down below.
Overall, Round Pond has very nice wines and a fun tasting experience. The building and landscaping is very scenic.
