Three Wine Company

This review will be short & sweet… My wife and I vistited the OSM two weeks in a row, during the first week we did a wine tasting at the Three Wine Company. After trying just about all of there wines whites/​reds we became a DIRT member. Enjoyed every wine in the flight we tried; needless to say the Three Wine Co. was the reason we came back for the Wine and Food Truck Festival. The service was good, the atmousphere was nice and the ouydoor patio was really cool if you want to buy a bottle of your fav and have a picnic. If your looking for good wine, come to the OSM and try Three Wine Company.

My daughter was married June 13^th and we had a lot of family in town for the following week. Being Dirt Club members we ‘thought’ Three Wine Company was open on Thursdays so we brought the family to the Sugar Mill for some tastings. I found the doors closed but a slight nudge they opened and found tasting room manager Matt McCollough sitting behind a computer and willing to host our party of ten for a tasting.
Needless to say Matt was awesome! He pulled out a bottle Escapade and gave our family a very good education on wine tasting through Matt Cline’s very excellent 1885.
Uncle Anthony was nearly in tears and my brother in law John said it was the best experience wine tasting he has ever experienced.
Three Wine Company is truly a gem.

My fiancé and I were visiting my parents for the holidays, so my mom decided we should go check out some wineries in the area. I stumbled upon The Old Sugar Mill. Three Wine Company was one of the wineries we visited.
The tasting price wasn’t bad and you got a decent selection of their wines. I don’t know how some of the people can call their pours «generous» but maybe our lady wasn’t feeling so giving.
As a beer drinker and brewery fanatic I am used to really friendly and talkative service. Beer people can be snobby, but usually they are happy to share their passion and talk you up. Here I found the service to be a bit cold and reserved. Not terrible, but just not warm and welcoming. Maybe she could sense that we weren’t hardcore wine drinkers.
The wine itself was good. I ended up buying a bottle of their dessert wine, but I was the only one who seemed to think they had anything worth buying.
What really got me was that we were overcharged here. Now I could be like that Harvard business professor and scream and shout about being over charged $ 5, but at the end of the day it is $ 5. The story goes as this:
The tastings are $ 5 (something like that) and if you buy a bottle of wine they waive the tasting fee. My mom didn’t want a glass of her own but would take a small sip of ours if she was interested, so we got two tastings. When we left we bought a bottle of wine, and we were still charged for two tastings, not one.
So the wine was decent, the service was lacking, and we got overcharged (a small amount but still overcharged).
I might go back for a bottle of that dessert wine, but I wouldn’t cozy up to the bar again.

Fabulous wines– not a bad one in the bunch. Generous with tastings and great service. We took home 4 bottles. Enjoyed the Zins, mataro, and field blend the most. Had a wonderful time and will be back.

Melissa offered many choices and with her amazing service we walked out with 6 bottles. Thank you!!!

Three Wine Company is one of my favorite wineries, not only in the Old Sugarmill location, but overall! I’m not a wine snob by any means so it’s nice to have knowledgeable people who work there that know their wines. Three has some of the best whites, with some of my favorites being Escapade and Albarino which are perfect for the summer months. They have some very decent reds as well. It’s also been fun going to their release parties which seem to occur about every 3 months or so, but is usually accompanied by some food and samples of a wider variety of wines. Granted you need to be a member but their fees are nowhere near the Napa-​type payments. If you want to try something new, refreshing and a location gaining in popularity, please give Three Wine Company a try as I’m sure you’ll be as elated as I am! Cheers!

The man helping us is so sweet! Were at the wine and cheese faire and they are doing fabulous. 3 for free is the slogan for the day!

This place is a favorite at the Old Sugar Mill. I love the wines, the relaxed atmosphere, and seeing and getting poured tastings by Kelly. She is just as much a reason that we come back here as the wine.
As for the wine, I’m a big fan of the Old Vines Zin and Field Blend, and the Petite Sirah. The Albarino is on the sweeter side of white which I’m normally not a fan of, but I actually enjoy it very much.
I visited this Sunday with some girl friends (two of which who had never been to OSM) and they enjoyed the experience just as much as I did. We were all very much excited to find out that the company they feature for wine aerator’s is coming out with new designs– including a zombie!

Have always had great service and great wines! I love their 1885 blend as well as their Mataro. :-)

went there for a paella party/​wine pick up. really really good paella! great wine that’s not too heavy on your wallet! the old sugar mill has a nice selection of wineries to try. most of them offer free tastings. great saturday afternoon outing.

The tasting room wines were good, the ones you get at home don’t taste as good. The customer svc reps told us there was no minimum for the wine club and that we could sign up on the website. In fine print they tell you that you must join for a year, but I wasn’t expecting to need to read up on their policy, since their rep told me that there were no requirements, so we signed up. After getting a couple deliveries I noticed that I did not enjoy their wines nearly as much as the ones I tasted in the tasting room, tried to cancel my membership, but since I signed up online and it did state that I had to join for a year, I cannot cancel. So, they will get a few more of my dollars and then I will never purchase another item from them again, hate being tricked into buying something I don’t want, lame. Hope this helps someone thinking of joining, know what you are getting into and know that the wine you get delivered will not taste nearly as good as the stuff they pour during your tasting.

They have a very nice flight of wines. Started w/​their Albarino, which turned out to be one of my favorites and I usually like reds. My other favorite was their Old Vine Zinfandel with a beautiful vanilla/​coconut finish. Definitely try them out.

3WineCo is one of the hidden gems at Old Sugar Mill. Its really easy to miss, since its all the way at the end of the building, but you definetly have to try them out. They do mostly zinfandel and zin blends, which come out delicious! The Field Blend Zin is good, and so is the Mataro? Zin. In the past they have bottled a cabernet… Make sure you stop by! Kelly is a really nice host!

This winery is located in the Sugar Mill in Clarksburg. Our wine tasting attendant was really nice. Tasting was free. I think we were allowed to taste three or four wines. The wines tasted ok to me. Their long sleeve t-​shirts were overpriced at $ 26 for a thin non high-​quality shirt. Because the tasting attendant was so nice, I had a good time here overall.

Three Wine Company was bustling when I visited a couple of weekends ago. I really wanted to check it out, so when I found an open space at the counter, I made sure to squeeze in. My boyfriend and I stood there for a few minutes, until we were greeted. That person then left, for some reason, and a minute later, another woman began to help us.
She asked us if we wanted the free tasting (3 pours) or the paid tasting. Since we had already visited a few other tasting rooms, we figured three pours would be a good starting point.
While tasting the wines, we found out that the company was owned by one of the Cline brothers. Having visited both Jacuzzi and Cline in Sonoma, we were both quite interested in learning more. But unfortunately, the lady helping us didn’t seem to know much about the history or family. Oh well.
The wine we tasted was fine; but none really stood out, of the three that we tried.

Guess how many wines are included in the complimentary tasting?!? They have over 10 if you pay $ 5.
While you contemplate this mind jogger I want to tell you about three wines that I liked.
I am not much for Reisling, but my goodness they make one that grabs your attention. Art is art, and that is a good bottle.
They also have a 105 year old vine Zin that is very nicely balanced between spice and nice.
They also have an 85 year old vine Zin that is good, but not quite as good as the 105.
They lady pouring was very cool. This is a great stop in the Old Sugar Mill.

The wines here are great, they have god examples of everything they do, including some single varietals of motaro and carrignane, which are normally used for mixing and so are rare in single varietal forms. I am not much of a sweet wine drinker, but you have to try their late harvest… it is a great dessert wine without any of the usual cloying sweetness most wines of that type carry

Three’s wines are absolutely wonderful. They have a selection of both whites and reds, so there’s a little something for everyone. And no tasting fee! Like a previous reviewer mentioned though, the star of the show is their Late Harvest S3x Riesling. SO FREAKING DELICIOUS oh my god. It’s a pretty amber color, suuuper sweet, but not syrupy at all. A little steep on the price (~$ 40 per 375-​mL bottle) but definitely worth it for a special occasion. I got a bottle to share with my bridesmaids while getting ready on my wedding day, and it was definitely a hit. Their other wines are very well crafted too. My second favorite is their rose — it smells just like strawberries and tastes sweet but more of a dry sweet, and fruity. Light and delicious! The only problem with this one is that once you open a bottle, you better plan on finishing it because it does NOT keep well at all. Put it in the fridge overnight and the next day it tastes and smells faintly of vinegar. Their regular Riesling is also a favorite of mine — not too sweet, and crisp on the palate. I can’t really comment on the reds because by the time I get to them on a tasting trip here, I’m too tipsy to really retain any coherent thoughts! ;D

You could almost miss this little winery in the back corner of the mill. They are quite understated. It’s all about the wine. No gimmicks or knickknacks. The space is dark, yet inviting and their logo as multifaceted as their drinks.
The hostess acknowledged me immediately and began explaining about the different types of wine they make. They have a delicious Riesling, about a half dozen reds that range from simple to complex in flavor, and their award-​winning S3x dessert wine. At $ 40 a bottle (about 13oz) it is pricey, but well worth it. Conditions have to be right for production, so something this good is a rarity.

Three Wine Co just opened up a tasting room at Old Sugar Mill. They have a little under 10 wines to taste and no tasting fee. I only tried the whites (I think there were 3 – 4 reds as well) and they were wonderful.
But the real highlight was the S3x late harvest Riesling. It is AMAZING. It was probably the best dessert wine I’ve ever had. Of course it’s incredibly sweet (too much for my tasting partner) but it totally hit the spot for this sweet tooth. If you like dessert wines, this alone is worth visiting the Old Sugar Mill.
