Alpha Omega

The Alpha Omega tasting room is located in Rutherford, Ca just after you pass the Rutherford Grill on the right if you are headed north toward St Helena.  They had a huge capacity for seating, and we were told that in the summer they seat 200 persons on a weekend day.

We were in for a treat the day we went because my wife’s partner knows the CEO of Alpha Omega, so they pulled out all the stops.  We were treated to 12 different wines (we were doing a lot of spitting as was appropriate for such a spread of wines).

They gave us a few whites and then dove into the heavy guns, Cab Franc, Petite Verdot and then a huge array of single vineyard cabs.  The guy who served us was a veteran of the winery and had been there for many years.  He knew the history and the wines well.

This is a winery we would recommend to everyone.  It is a comfortable, non-snobby experience with top notch service and wines!
