Chappell Wine Tasting Room

After eating dinner at Savoury’s, my partner-​in-​crime and I decided to walk around Mariposa before driving back down to Merced. So glad we did!
We saw this place and I noticed that they not only do wine tasting, but also beer tasting, which sounded good to us.
We walked in, and Brett was pouring wine for a cute S.F. couple. We waited a minute and he walked us all over to the beer station for the beer tasting (all brewed by Scott Chappelle– I think his brother makes the wine that they serve there). We really enjoyed the four beers (the tastes)– they had a light hoppy one, a «red ale,» a nut brown one, and a porter. Everyone loved the nut brown one, and we bought a bottle to take home.
Honestly, the beer was good but not so different from other beers we’ve had, but Brett was a lot of fun, and we lucked out with that couple– they were really sweet. In terms of wine, we didn’t have any, but it all looked like reds and a red dessert wine to me, so if you only drink white wine, this may not be the place for you.
Highly recommend when Brett is there– not sure what the other sommeliers /​beer wizards are like. :D
I think wine tastings are around $ 6, and beer tastings are $ 5 for about 4 3-​ounce glasses, and I don’t think it’s waived even if you buy beer/​wine.
