Rapazzini Winery, Gilroy

We had the pleasure of being waited on by Delores, and what a beautiful lady she is!! Sweet as honey and tough as nails, never having served wine there she jumped in to help the owners that had a family emergency on a busy holiday weekend! It was crazy busy with several difficult patrons, but Delores gave us an amazing experience, and topped it with delicious wines! We even tried and bought the garlic wine. It is not like anything I have ever tried. We got the white drinking style and look forward to paring it with an Italian dinner. We will definitely return..And hope to be blessed by Miss Delores' presence, usually found in the fruit stand. :) *Second visit we met Alex the owner.. interesting, yet nice guy. An aquired taste perhaps, lol. We enjoyed our visit again though, and look forward to returning.

Fun, quick place for a tasting. Great variety of selection, reds, whites, and flavored champagne. We tried the almond and it was surprisingly a fresh flavor. Beautiful copper bar too. The decor was bright and welcoming vs others that are kinda dark and feel a little crowded. Parking lot a little small but very easy in and out.
