Could be an interesting afternoon.

I don’t have high hopes for the wine, but I’m sure it should at least be vaguely drinkable.

I know the owner. Thanks for posting, I missed it the night they were on.

The winery part has just opened (NV liquor law just made it possible for them to have licensing.) They have been a wine school for many years. And decades in the industry. Right close by them is a craft beer (Craft Haus) and a liquor distillery (Las Vegas Distillery). Both have a bar inside and are just literally steps from each other.

I'm guessing that they'll have have the finest in screw top wines.

I'm originally from Santa Rosa and Napa, CA. Let me know when they can compete with Mondavi, V. Sattui, and Stags Leap Vineyards.

^ maybe you should go back.

We’ll go to the winery and support local small business owners. Sounds like a bonus that Californians won’t be there!

I would if I could, but I had a stroke back in 2015. I'm now wheelchair bound, and I've never seen an electric wheelchair on an airline or a Greyhound bus, noob. How is some local yokel going to compare to some of the world's finest wineries?

No screw tops. And the grapes are shipped in from Napa, Sonoma, and Chile. They do a special processing once a year using NV grapes. NV isn't just the Vegas valley.

The 'local yokals', weren't locals but very distinguished career sommerliers, traveling the world for decades learning all they could about creating great wines. With the intent of opening a vineyard and tasting room. They actually were trained in Sonoma and Napa along with other parts of the world. Which continues today. Like most businesses, you need to be constantly learning. They have been open for many years. NV law changes is now why they can sell retail, instead of just manufacture. NV has far to go with their liquor laws to create and support local businesses like this. Whose to blame, lack of interest from the 'local yokels' to make this happen. It take people who want to change the game to make stuff happen. And we are lucky they want to move here.

They are doing well, no worry about the few that refuse to think outside the box.

We are very lucky they chose to locate here to share in their endeavors. They, like many entreprenuers found NV to be a very friendly business enviroment. And with Napa and Sonoma, being so close to get grapes from, why not come here where there is little to no competition. And start something Vegas can call its own.

From what I experienced, the best vineyards are in South Africa, France, or Italy. But they have been established for generations. You know what they say about opinions. Everybody has one.

One more cool thing to bring visitors to town. At least we are a thriving community. With entreprenuers moving here and adding to the Vegas coolness all the time.

Some Californians make these 3 places (now) part of their stop coming into Vegas. This area is called the Booze District and will be expanding.

The Vinery has people (and businesses) coming in from all over the country, twice a year to creates barrells of their own wine, Many customers have been doing this as long as they have been open. Some for their own use and the businesses to give to their customers. They get to create their own labels etc. Once a year they throw a big party on the strip and have the best wine awards for the wine and the labels. Teh judges are not conntected with the vineyard. But are wel known in the wine industry.

The grapes matter, not where they are processed. If the process is controlled, what does it matter where the processing takes place?

What's wrong with screw tops?

It matters very little where you are from if you didn't learn anything.

Even though I lived in the Wine Country most of my life, it doesn't matter to me. Due to my stroke, I'm not allowed to drink.

screw tops are great & we are running low on cork trees. So we will be seeing more, not less screw tops in the future.
