WEEKEND BARREL TASTINGS AT SIERRA VISTA WINERY
Sierra Vista Winery is now offering Barrel tastings on weekends by appointment.
Looking for a more intimate wine tasting experience? Come join one of our wine savvy hosts for a closer look at the wine making process. We will take you out to our barrel room and you will try various wines in the heart of their aging period. We will then take you back to the tasting room so you can taste the same wine as a finished product. The cost is $10 per person and free for wine club members. Two people per wine club membership.
Hope to see you soon!

We are having another Lobster feed July 24, 2010
Watch for details.
We had a Lobster Feed and it was great.
Below are a couple testimonials:
We had a wonderful time at the lobster dinner. The lobster was perfectly done (not always easy to do) and the rest of the meal was excellent. The wines as always were just right. We would definitely consider doing this again. We have a few pictures you might like--if so let us know how to get them to you. Thanks again!
I was one of the delighted guests tonight at Sierra Vista, when your Reno team put on absolutely the best “bare hands” meal I’ve ever enjoyed. From the panache of the pour-out to the efficient cut-roll-tape of the clean-up, the two who cooked and served us were complete wizards. The food was beyond compare! I am one to devour all that is edible in a lobster, and it was splendid: tender, moist, flavorful and messy! The corn – delicious. The artichoke – delicious. The heads of garlic – amazing. Potato – who cares? Bread – who cares? Sausage – don’t know and didn’t miss it. Finger-friendly ice cream bar – nice closing touch. John and Barbara and their staff made the whole event possible. The grounds of Sierra Vista Winery made the setting perfect. The food made me want to do the whole thing again as soon as possible. Thank you.
John and Barbara and Clyda! Tonight’s Lobsterfest was incredible! I have loved lobster for even longer than I’ve loved wine, and I’ve enjoyed my share of both. But never – ever – have I enjoyed both so much as I did tonight! Lobster, shrimp, artichokes, whole heads of garlic, corn on the cob, sausage, all cooked together in huge big pots. Clumps of sour dough bread, baskets of napkins and lobster crackers, bottles of great Sierra Vista wines, wine glasses – and nary a platter, plate nor fork in sight! It was one heckuva wonderful and thoroughly hands-on experience for all!
The gasps of astonishment and glee as the chefs literally dumped our feast out on the table covers were universal. The best part – after the food and wine, of course? The incredibly friendly people who shared the bounty! I’ve never had so much fun with so many people I never met before as I did tonight. Maybe it was because everyone who likes your wines is automatically delightful. Or maybe – just maybe – the act of “bug wrestling” brings out the best in the best! Tonight’s affair was about as close to pure magic as I can imagine, and I want to sign up now for the next one, whenever it is! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This dinner - provided by Sorenson's Catering - was one of the most fantastic event meals we've ever had! Everything was cooked to perfection, and of course the wine is the best! Add to it a really fine jazz trio and you have an evening to remember! Thanks for hosting this and please do it again . . . and again . . . and again!
