O’Brian Estate

Out last wine tasting – we kicked the day into high gear with “tall pours” before breakfast.  Whoa-Hoo.  The nice cheese and nut plate that was brought out was “Hoovered”.  What a great winery – small (less than 5000 case production)  Primarily Merlot, Cab Sauv, Cab Frac, and Sauv. Blanc.   Unique to O’Brian was their owned bottling equipment whereas most smaller wineries opt to use a mobile bottling team when needed.   This allows O’Brian to so some custom labeling for VIP clients.    Great Wine, lower price point than we’ve seen for small production wineries.  We spent some time to test our own new leaf identification skills (which apparently suck)
