Extremely Friendly! Klinker Brick Winery

When you taste wine with people who are enthusiastic about wine, who are true wine lovers, that sentiment can actually come through in the taste of the wine itself. The “vibe” that you get visiting wineries and how that “vibe” can, and does, translate into how that wine tastes is uncanny. It should probably be a research topic. People who are enthusiastic about the process and product have better wine.

Klinker Brick Winery was the epitome of this. The staff in the tasting room was extremely nice and went out of their way to answer semi obscure wine questions. They were excited to tell the story about the winery, the buildings, and of course, the vines. This came through in the old vine Syrah that I tasted and then purchased. Some wineries make you feel like a bother. When you ask questions you get questions back, like “are you part of our wine club?” I won’t be with that attitude. What does your wine club have to do with the age of the vines or how much oak aging does that wine get? I didn’t get any of that at Klinker Brick, and the enthusiasm of the staff made for great tasting wine! I shall definitely return!
