Satori Cellars, Gilroy

At the entrance, a small sign says, “this is my happy place.” Enjoyed a couple of happy hours tasting several wines and definitely confirmed my favorite full red wine. Everyone has their own preference and mine is for full-bodied, rich, slightly sweet, not bitter and slightly fruity. My taste for wines continues to evolve and the opportunity to select from any four red wines let me zero in on what I like. This is a family owned and operated entity, friendly, personable, knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk with. There’s a lot of work caring for 20 acres of wine plants, overseeing harvests, crushing, blending, fermenting, aging and bottling. Their logo is distinctive, playful and colorful, really setting their wines apart from others. I would be happy with any of those I tasted, and I zeroed in on my favorite wine.

Amazing place. Different vibe from other wine tasting places. Colorful, a bit funky. Palm trees next to vines. Good wines, pours and decent tasting price. Must visit but check website to make sure they are open. You’re sure to have a good time when here!
