De Angelis has the best reds around, the whites are excellent too. My wife and I came for a wine tasting on our anniversary a couple years ago and had such a good time! The wine tasting was a great experience because we got to learn about how they make the wine, meet the wine makers, plus taste so many great wines. We recommend their wine to anyone appreciates good wine. Rob and Stacey are great!

Loved this spot. They had board games and were hosting a mead & yoga event, which was super neat. I was travelling solo, but it would be a great spot to meet up with friends. The mead selections were delicious. I tried 4 different kinds and got a 4 pack of my favorite to take back home.
