Van Ruiten - Lodi

The location of this winery is on a rather major street, which gives it more of a commercial center feel rather than a hidden winery nestled among the grapes.

Location aside, the property is simple. A tasting room and a parking lot. The wines were simple as well, with nothing really standing out as being worth a purchase. Ultimately we did purchase a late harvest Viognier, as it would be a great dessert wine to serve some cold winter night. Beyond that, the rest were unfortunately very forgettable.

Nice people, but the wines were nothing to write home about.
