As I mentioned in our last blog post, we had been in San Francisco for a concert and we had decided to go through Saratoga on our way back over to San Jose. I discussed our restaurant experience at The Basin in the last post and this time I will let you know about our wine tasting experience at Big Basin Vineyards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dushan was the man with the plan\u2026otherwise known as the one in charge of filling our glasses and educating us on their wines. He had a lot to deal with as the three of us (Annie, myself, and our friend Sean) were a little out of sorts. He got us back on track though.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s what we tasted:<\/p>\n

2013 Coastview Vineyard Chardonnay $48.00<\/p>\n

2013 Woodruff Vineyard Pinot Noir $59.00<\/p>\n

2012 Gabilan Mountains GSM (46% Grenache 39% Syrah 15% Mourvedre) $44.00<\/p>\n

2013 Syrah (91% Syrah 5% Grenache 4% Viognier) $36.00<\/p>\n

2012 Old Corral Syrah (91% Syrah 9% Grenache) $55.00<\/p>\n

The wines were quite nice. We walked away with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (damn you Pinot Noir, you\u2019re an expensive habit). If you are in the area I strongly encourage you to stop in and taste. Well worth it.<\/p>\n

It also seemed like a cool spot to hang out and have a glass. There was some indoor seating as well as a deck out front you can lounge on. The nice thing is that Big Basin Vineyards is walking distance to the restaurant, The Basin, which I talked about in my last blog post.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out the tasting room and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
