Mi Sueno Winery

Really great, personalized service here! This is really a hidden gem that you would have no way of finding without knowing about it. The wine was fantastic and diverse. What makes this place very unique is the story behind it!

Just got back from picking up our first wine club member order. 2×2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley and 2×2012 Pinot Noir Los Carneros. When we joined the wine club we decided to do pick-​ups instead of delivery since we live about 1 hour away. What a great decision that allows us to schedule a wine tasting each time we go pick up the wines.
This time they were bottling some wines in the back. Meg walked us over and showed us the process. Since it is also harvest season, there were some grapes in various stages of the beginning of the wine making process.
We again had a great time tasting the wines. Had the privilege to try their 2011 Herrera Malbec, which is one of my girlfriend’s favorite wines ever. To top it off, Meg gave us a crash course in formal tastings and what we should look for.
If you haven’t picked up on it yet, this place is awesome and I highly recommend you try Mi Sueño Winery.

Where to start! Now. I know I’m not a very eloquent writer and I do not have a fancy vocabulary. So I shall say it as it is.
Our friend turned wine connoisseur brought a bottle of their wine to dinner one night and I fell in love! It was really really good. Easy to drink with or without food.
So when my hubbie’s relatives from thailand were staying and we had to play host, why not take them wine tasting. We were able to get a tasting/​tour here with Stacy and it was great!
It was a little weird getting here, almost wondered if my friend was trying to take us somewhere sketchy! lol just kidding, but what a nice surprise. We met and had our first pour of chardonnay (which was so smooth and not too oaky or buttery) right in the offices, walked along to a magical place in the back of the room, where they have lovely memorabilias from super baseball stars. Then to where all it happens. You definitely smell the wine and its «intoxicating» har har
Lovely tasting area amid all the barrels of wines, we tasted a pinot, syrah, and cab. LOVED IT. I never really liked syrah but this one hit all the right notes for me. The pinot was bolder than I’m used too but still good. The cab was quite spicy when you sniff but just the right boldness as you drank it. I was so content sipping between the 3. Then we got a little extra surprise when Stacy brought us a taste of the Rebecca (named after his oldest daughter, I wonder if he has a daughter named Christine ;)), smooth like water, of course at $ 125 a bottle, it is something to save and savor!
Such a pleasant experience! I think we found a new love! The relatives enjoyed their tasting very much! We took home a bottle of the chardonnay and syrah! Both of which we rarely drink or buy! Also of course the storyline behind Mi Sueno is absolutely humbling! We hope to taste one day when he drops in to meet him!
Thanks Stacy for the wonderful service and to the recommendations for other places to try! See you soon!

2011 PINOT NOIR Los Carneros…
Excellent to drink right now!!!

We had an excellent tour and tasting with Meg yesterday. I was able to book an appointment online with ease after being exposed to them at Vintners Collective the prior week. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday and could not have asked for a better experience! We were lucky enough to have a chance meeting with Rolando as well and he was beyond kind and accommodating, sharing with us some fresh from the barrel chardonnay that will soon be bottled. Attention to detail is a driving key to both the service we received and the wines we tasted. We are very excited to have joined the wine club and are looking forward to many more years of delicious wine. Gracias Rolando y todos at Mi Sueño!

Mi Sueno is as intimate as it gets! This very homely wine tasting experience definitely won me over! But the wine takes the cake for winning my bid for a wine club subscription! All the employees I have dealt with was not but extrodinary! They treat everyone that comes through that door like a top-​tier client who buys cases from them. Their Syrah is OUT OF THIS WORLD! I am an avid hater of Syrahs but Mi Sueno does well in making their wines anything but ordinary. I bought 2 bottles of te Syrah because I could not relish the fact that I would be out of their Syrah if I ever decided to open one and drink it! I have tried nothing in their Herrera Seleccion that was not anything but perfect. Their Rebecca Cab and Rolando Jr Cab is amonst my favorite in their Herrera reserve.
Keep in mind, you do need an appointment for a tasting and they’re serious about this because they only take 1 tasting at a time so you get the pour’s attention 110%. The story of Mi Sueno is a happy one that litereally exemplifies the «American Dream.» From a Mexican immigrant to a dish washer to a wall builder to a wine maker. His legacy doesn’t end there as his wines have been in the White House and have been poured for over 5 presidents. To both U. S and the Mexican president! That in itself speaks volumes of the quality of the wines he creates. If you ever have a chance and you want that intimate tasting– this is it! You will not regret it!
The only thing people might not like about Mi Sueno is the fact that it’s hidden inside an industrial complex. no vineyards or expansive greens here… but you do get some stellar wines! I will choose that over a view anyday!

Truly outstanding wines paired with wonderful customer service! I love all the wineries in the Crusher Wine District.

Went to Sabor Del Valle yesterday and stopped by the Mi Sueno booth. Person working the booth was a jack ass.

Mi Sueno isn’t your typical winery. It’s located in an Industrial complex in the South of Napa and your tasting is in the chilled storage area of the warehouse. Despite the unconventional setting, the private tasting that I enjoyed here was extremely well done and informative. Jaime gave us a quick tour of the facility and we settled down at a grand wooden table and the pours began. Jaime is quite the story-​teller, weaving together the story of the owner and the winery with the explanation for each of the wines. We tried 11 of their wines that day, with very very generous pours of each. My favorites were their 2009 Cab and the 2011 Valeria, a petit verdot, from their reserve line, Herrera, but I was also fond of the 2009 Chardonnay (not too oaky) and 2009 Pinot Noir. I still consider myself a novice wine drinker but I can pinpoint the exact moment when I drank wine and thought to myself for the first time «Oh I could drink a lot more of this.» That was here at Mi Sueno with the 2011 Valeria!

After trying 3 of their wines at the Vintner’s Collective and picking up a couple of bottles, I gave them a call for an impromptu visit (reservations are required). Jaime was kind enough to come in just to accommodate us.
Mi Sueno has a really cute back story of how they got started and it really makes you want to root for them some more. It’s not a traditional setting as they are tucked away in a warehouse. My only regret was not picking up a bottle of their Syrah!

Absolutely love this wine! Mi Sueno gives the family feel with the experience in tasting the best wines Napa has to offer. Jaime Orozco provides the best detail tour I’ve ever had at any winery in Napa. It’s a must go or else you are not living.

This has to be one of my favorite wines/​winery in Napa. Yes, its not your typical tasting room winery, but once you try their wines and hear their story, you won’t regret coming here. I was lucky enough to be given a bottle of their Chardonnay as a gift from a coworker, and since then, my wife and I wanted to visit this winery. Recently, for her birthday, we planned a trip to Napa with some friends. Mi Sueno was on that list and we were in touch with a guy named Jaime. Even though this winery was closed on the day we wanted to visit, Jaime agreed to come in on his day off and give us a personal tour.
As I mentioned, the story alone makes you want to support this winery even more. Jaime gave us a brief story of how things got started and how they are today. He then went on to give us a «behind the scenes» look, where we eventually had our tastings. He was professional, energetic, informative, fun, and all around a great guy and host. We all left there with bottle of wine, one personally signed and given to my wife as a gift, and now we’re wine club members here.
Give them a call or shoot them an email and make sure you stop and visit this place. As Gloria said, this place is seriously a «Hidden Gem of Napa Valley»!

Great wines. Check our their lovely chardonnay.
