Double Take Tour

Trump used to be Kluge. Not many changes other than "T" and Trump all around. They were still using their flutes - test-tube like glasses - for tasting. We love them but were told they are discontinuing their use. Too bad. Unusual is fun.

One winery had no dump bucket. No matter how good you think your wine is, you need to respect the fact that not everyone will agree. Don't force people to drink.

At one place we were served by the owner who showed no interest in talking with us. We asked questions and showed an interest in his place, but he was not personable. Mingling with the customers may not be for everyone. That is fine. Hire someone to serve for you.

Glass House is very unusual. A greenhouse in which they grow fruit (which we got to sample) and have tables for enjoying wine and/or the live entertainment. Very nice.
