One of the best ways to find a great place to taste wine is to find
out where the staff of one winery go to taste at another and buy their wine. While in the
Lodi area of California tasting, well wine, what else, I asked one tasting
room attendant about where she would go for a good drop if it wasn't where she worked and she recommended Harney Lane.
Never one to hesitate to check out a new tasting room I was off like a bucket of prawns in the sun. Arriving at Harney Lane I noticed how new the facility looked. Come to discover the tasting room is only a few years old. A nice roomy well laid out tasting room with a nice outside area with a fire pit. The selection of wines to taste are good and definitely worth a stop.
The heritage of Harney Lane goes back to the turn of the
century when vines were planted in 1907 along Harney Lane. They have been at
this for five generations crafting the vineyards and methods over time to
produce some lovely wines. This is validated by loyal following and numerous
awards for all their wines.
One of my favorites and the bottle purchase of the visit was the
Tempranillo and in writing this discovered it is also well regarded. I give them a 'Recommend' you go have a taste.
