After spending a lazy mid-morning at Foppiano Vineyards<\/a>, walking the self-guided vineyard tour and tasting Foppiano wine we headed down the road to J Vineyards<\/a>. What an amazing contrast in wineries. Foppiano represents much of the past in wineries with its modest tasting room and winemaking facilities. J Vineyards on the other hand is far removed from the traditional, with a lush tasting room, state of the art winemaking equipment, beautiful grounds, and more expensive wines.<\/p>\n

The tasting room is exquisite and so is the tasting experience. There is a choice of tasting menus and we chose the basic tasting of four wines for $10. The pace was very leisurely; we probably spent about 45 minutes tasting the four wines. Our server was very informative and not overbearing with his knowledge of the J wines. Everything is done in a classy style. With each pour of wine comes a new wine glass.<\/p>\n

\nToo often in this type of environment the staff tries too hard and goes a bit over the top.
\nNot so here, it was a generally a fun and enjoyable experience. The wines were all very good, well balanced, and structured. The wines however because of their quality and style are priced well above the Foppiano Wines.<\/p>\n

Foppiano and J Vineyards represent a contrast in time in the wine world and both are fun to visit in succession. You get a little of the old and a little of the new, in wine world.
