We stopped in to pick-up our club shipments and just had to taste what we were picking-up and some others just to see how they were tasting. Their wines are always delicious and fairly priced. Our server was a delight.
We stopped in as the last stop after a long day of education and wine tasting. We had visited the winery before and were very impressed. We had our Guide Dog Puppy in training with us so we found a spot at the end of the tasting table while this man set us up for our tasting. We tasted several great wines and as it turned out our server was none other than Jeff Rrunquist. It was great hearing him talk with the other folks tasting that day and now that I know him will be back to pick his brain.
We are wine club members of Runquist Winery and it is definitely worth every penny. Well, come to think of it, we really do not pay anything, we just commit to 12 bottles of wine a year at a 20% discount--why wouldn't we join?. I think they have the best wines in the region and their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We are big fan of their events. I look forward to going to Runquist Winery to pick up our wines several times a year--It is a great excuse to get up in the foothills and buy another bottle of their Barbera, Petite Sirah, or Petite Verdot--my personal favorites and to visit many of the other Amador wineries.
All of their red wines (they only make reds) are excellent. We got a nice tour of the winemaking facility during the visit also.
我们一直都非常喜欢在R品尝酒,非常棒!杰夫的酒独一无二而且很顺口。他使用的是你不常见的混合葡萄品种。服务员非常友好而且乐于助人,尽管人有点多。这是我们介绍给新朋友的酒庄。
我是名红酒买手,和朋友来Plymouth逗留的时候发现了这里,她告诉我这里不为人所知,我应该来试试。结果证明来得非常明智,品尝了各种各样的美酒。我们品酒之旅的最后一站就是这里,他们正准备发布一款巴贝拉葡萄酒。他们给我倒了一杯,我问是否可以购买。他们说不行,因为还没有正式上市。我告诉他们说我马上要回意大利,不会再来这里了。Jeff就大方地说卖给我一瓶。我把这瓶酒带回了意大利,珍藏了好几年,然后打开和我的意大利朋友分享。我没有告诉他们这是什么,来自哪里。他们都拜倒在这瓶美酒之下了,我说这瓶酒来自加利福尼亚时,他们打死都不信,对他们来说就是正宗的意大利制造,是真正的巴贝拉。如果你想品尝世间美酒,那么来这里造访一下,同时别忘了是来自意大利的Pall推荐的哦!
Best red wines, especially varietals, in Amador. Being a wine club member has great benefits not including the discount on purchases. Plus free cheese and bread!
I really enjoy the Runquist wines. I subscribe thru their wine club, and the Service is as good as their wines, excellent.I have visited their winery and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We received several great recommendations ranging from restaurants to 'other wineries', imagine that, all the recommendations were spot on !!
As wine club members we always attend the annual wine club appreciation BBQ at the Jeff Runquist Winery. As we sat under a walnut tree looking out at the Amador hills covered in vineyards enjoying great food, wine and music, we were inspired to write this review. This is a very, very special winery. The wines are spectacular. Jeff Runquist is wine maker who strives for perfection, and perfection is what he gets. The staff at the winery and tasting room are friendly, helpful and attentive. You never have to wait long for that next taste. They always have smiles, especially the Lorrees, two special wine room folks who make every visit special. The wine tasting room is spacious and well designed to make sure we all get to "belly up to the bar". Greeted with free special cheeses, you feel special. It is clear the staff and the service mirror the co-owner, Jeff's wife Margie. What a special person! Never without big sincere smile and warm hug, she makes you feel like you are family. The fact is these folks exemplify the tasting experience at most of the Sierra Foothill (Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Nevada) Wineries....again...special. Forget the "big deal" Napa, this is where you need to go. Great job Margie and Jeff!
这家酿酒坊真的很棒,不过这里只提供红葡萄酒。好吧,虽然也有白葡萄酒,但只是甜甜的麝香葡萄酒。在这里品尝葡萄酒是不收费的。我一般只喝伦白葡萄酒,但奎斯特黑皮诺的味道也棒极了——我们在这里买了两瓶葡萄酒,打算带着这两瓶酒去高档的酒店搭配食物享受一番。丹尼斯很乐于帮忙也很有见地,使得我们这次参观充满了乐趣。
