I have traveled all over the U.S. and have been to many wineries. This winery is on my top 5 list! The owner is wonderful and you can see, hear and taste the passion that he has for his winery. He is very informative about his winery and his wines are wonderful. Please don’t overlook this place it’s worth the drive and his wine tasting is very different than most and VERY educational.

My husband and I went here for a few wine tastings with friends and were served by the owner’s wife. She was quite pleasant and helpful and the wines were very nice, although some were a little dry for my taste. The facility is beautiful. We had a very nice time when the owner’s wife was there. I would give her 4 stars! Then one evening my husband and I stopped in and the owner was present. He took one look at my husband’s volunteer fire department t-shirt and became extremely rude, voicing several complaints about some of the older and former members of the fire department from when the winery owner was a volunteer firefighter. He yelled at us in the tasting room about the local fire squad. His behavior was quite inappropriate and I, for one, will not return to his business. Sadly, his behavior does not even rate one star. I’m leaving that one star for his sweet wife.

Excellent winery. The owner was very friendly and knew a lot about the different types of grapes. He had some fun stories. Loved the wine.

Sample the drier spectrum of Nebraska wines. Dale welcomes visitors and educates as he pours. You’ll leave with well-crafted wines at a reasonable prices.

As we drove down the dirt road and pulled up to the winery/tasting room, the site reminded me of tasting rooms we had visited in the Sierra foothills, a home on one side of the driveway and the winery with attached tasting room on the other. We entered the tasting room to discover that the pourer is the owner and winemaker. We did the«Do it my Way» tasting and let the owner guide us through all the wines he was offering for sale. I found all the wines too sweet for my tastes. Not that it mattered to him as he claimed he basically sold all the wine he makes through the winery sales room. We did buy a bottle of his St Vincent as a gift for a couple that prefers a lighter, sweeter taste to their wines(think a robust rose).

Everything Amanda said and then some. We went wine tasting all day and this was the last stop because the hours were from 3−9pm. We started out with the owner saying«you can have it your way, $ 5, 5 drinks, you choose, or you can have it my way, $ 5, all the drinks». We did it his way. He explained every single drink and what he thought of it. He had a passion for every wine of his. The best part was, all his dry wine somehow tasted semi-dry to a sweet wine. He perfected this to another level. My dad bought 4 bottles and we bought 3 bottles. Even better, EVERYBOTTLE costs $ 15 and you keep your wine glass! He was using new technology by swiping your debit card off his Iphone, we thought that was pretty cool. Highly recommend you visit, or even do a wedding here(only reason I mention the wedding part is because my wife constantly commented on the vineyard view) Enjoy!

Really liked the wines here. Apparently the owner doesn’t like sweet wines so even their sweetest isn’t all that sweet. With that said, I like sweet wines and still enjoyed pretty much every one that they have. The wife of the owner was serving us and she was very pleasant and talked us up for a good hour which was great. Very cute and personal winery with about 10 wines to try that were excellent. The only one that I didn’t love was one meant for steaks and literally tasted like Worcestershire sauce. In any case, great little winery with a classy indoor seating area where the football games are always on.
