Quaking Hills

Great find in the Alexander Valley! Nice to find the smaller winery that the owner is involved in the day-​to-​day. Very good wines, nice library selection. We bought a vertical flight of the Paden’s Patch and look forward to the chance to see what has changed from year to year. Call and make an appointment and see these guys.

Worth the trip — make sure you call in advance for an appointment. Very personal tasting. Cheese and crackers provided — but best of all was the special jam provided — wish they would have sold that — absolutely yummy. I always try for private tastings as I dislike the drinking trough experience. This was a one on one with the wine maker. Expected to spend 30 minutes there or so. Ended up staying 2 hours having a great time. The wine was very good and VERY reasonably priced. I typically only purchase a few bottles to make sure I like stuff once I get home — purchase a case + 1 to cover time in San Jose before returning home. I’ll be back and strongly recommend others consider the extra time to venture to this place. Small, not extravagant — but a great time — just what I look for when visiting Wine country.

What a find! Amazing place in Alexander valley right next to the Russian River. Don’t let he rustic barn fool ya. It is one of the best cab franc vineyards around!
