Modus Operandi Cellars

Had to review this one. What a cool and different experience. As already stated you get to taste wine with Jason the winemaker and owner. Very cool and down to earth guy. He is not really trying to sell you anything nor trying to tell you what you want to hear. He is there cause he liked wine and enjoys sitting around and sharing stories over wine.
Did I say he makes awesome wines? He does.
Need to experience this one if you go to NApa.

A little background. My wife and I have been very much into wine as a hobby for almost ten years. We have been members of several wine clubs over the years and have a Vacation home in Napa. We travel there regularly and on our last visit had a chance to meet with Jason Moore at Modus Operandi. Let me say this.
As long as he is making wine this will be our first and last stop in town on every visit. His passion for the product shows in every bottle and the level of customer service provided is second to none. We joined the wine club without hesitation. For anyone visiting the area this has to be on your list of «go-​to» wineries without a doubt. One of our absolute favorites now as the wines are some of the best we have ever had. The tasting experience was exceptional, personal and involved. With all Napa has to offer you will be hard pressed to find someone that does it better. Can’t wait to return.

To say that Jason is awesome is an understatement. His wine is in the top 1% of wine I’ve ever had, the facilities are impressive, and he is the most personal and authentic person you’ll meet in Napa.
Please go there if you love wine and know a good one from a bad one. Please don’t if you are just looking for the next stop for your limo because this guy is a rock star that deserves to be taken seriously (though he’s pretty fun as well).
Keep up the good work Jason! We’ll see you on our next trip to Napa.

Modus Operandi is for serious wine lovers — do not come here for your 21^st birthday booze fest or Napa bachelorette wine blow-​out. You’ll want to come to really enjoy these high quality wines and appreciate them.
The tasting room serves many small scale wineries. It’s a very warm and inviting space. I loved meeting Jason, hearing his story and passion for wine. He is so down to earth, humble, and interesting to talk to! We felt like our tasting was like meeting an old friend. All this coming from a guy whose wines were picked to drink at a WHITE HOUSE DINNER — what?! Just think, now you are drinking the same wine that the President had!
The sauv blanc was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The Vicarious is amazing as well!
Modus Operandi is definetly worth the visit if you want to something off the ‘regular’ Napa circuit and want great, high quality wine and support a small winery.

Excellent wines! Jason makes the tasting very personal. We were tasting with another couple. The wine was so good, we both joined the wine club. I can’t wait for the first shipment! This is definitely a winery you want to try.

One of the best tasting experiences I have had. This past Sunday (1÷20÷13) my girlfriend and I made an appointment to do a tasting with Modus Operandi. We sat down with Jason Moore (Winemaker) and had a one on one tasting. He told us his story how he had moved from Texas to California to pursue his passion in winemaking. The one on one tasting really gives you a chance to personally get to know the winemaker. We didn’t feel like we were at a wine tasting, it felt more like we were just hanging out with Jason. The pours were definitely more than the average winery in Napa. Usually when I taste at a winery there’ll always be a few wines that don’t impress me. Not with Modus Operandi, every wine Jason offered was amazing. I bought a bottle of Vicarious that I’ll be opening for a special occasion. I highly recommend Modus Operandi for anyone visiting Napa. Thank you Jason for a awesome day, we look forward to tasting and joining your club in the future.

Tried Modus wines on a fluke in Houston and fell in love. Took a group to NAPA and met Jason for tasting and really understood why his wine are so great. If you want a great tasting and to know one of the up and coming power wine makers in NAPA — give it a try it is well worth it.

I have enjoyed Jason’s wines for several years now. These are the wines that you pull from the cellar and drink. One of the few wine clubs I have joined and stayed on. His red blends such as Anithesis and Vicarious are soooo enjoyable. He adds a bit of Petite Sirah to a Cab/​Merlot blend with a great end result. I have enjoyed the Sauv Blanc and Rose’ as well.
My wife has said more than once «you should get more of this».
A great tasting experience if you get to Napa, he even came to meet me once. You can tell he is so proud of his wines. Looking forward to a trip in February. (That reminds me I have to call him to set up a visit.)

Jason’s wines ROCK!!! We have tried many great wines from Napa and we must say Modus Operandi Wines are some of the best we have tried. We love being in Jason’s wine club and all the perks that come with it! Jason is on his way to becoming one of the superstars in Napa and we are very proud of his commitment and passion to winemaking. Keep cranking them out!!!
Brian and Christina Marks… Your favorite wine club members :) Cheers!!!

Jason is up and coming. Would never have known except for a good friend that lives in town. His winemaking skills are out of the box and it clearly shows. A definite place to bet on art and skills. He’s straight up and every tasting is superb! This, by far, was the best stop of three remarkable vineyards in the valley. By appointment. His Sauv Blanc was chosen for a presidential dinner recently (though not typically a white fan or Sauv Blanc for that matter, I bought this. It’s the best Sauv Blanc I’ve ever had). We love Vicarious and the Cab blend was incredible as well. Additionally, he has a new line that will likely put him under the watchful eye of serious wine affectionists. We can’t wait. Joined the club and look forward to many years of tasting.

(MO) puts out some truly fantastic wines and Jason is the perfect host for the tasting experience. We found him years ago almost at random, joined the club, and haven’t looked back since. Both Jason’s whites and reds are something special and still rank among my favorites of all time.
