Great wine. We have have been here 4 years in a row. We always come as a group in the wine industry. Standard for wine industry discounts is complementary tastings and 30% bottle discount. We were surprised this year. 10% discount on tasting and bottle discount. Obviously hurting or just greedy. A slap to all wine industry professionals. Highly disappointing. Was hoping to purchase at least a case of the wine. No purchase today.
Service was awesome but overall pricing and discount structure left us disappointed. Tastings are too expensive and you have to buy 3 overpriced bottles to get a âfreeâ tasting. This is our 3rd or 4th visit to a McClainâs location and probably our last. The wines are good but not fantastic. Pricing is what I would expect from a Napa/Sonoma winery with a pedigree not an urban winery just trying to make a name for themselves. FYI, I had to leave a rating for food in order to submit the review but we did not have the food. Valet parking is required and first 2 hours are free. That should have been enough time for a leisurely tasting but turns out we got back to the valet stand about 5-10 minutes late and we were charged $10 for parking. Not the fault of the winery, but left a bad impression after already feeling we were overcharged for our wine tasting.
The server was excellent. However, management understaffed with only having 1 server for the entire place on a Thursday evening especially during Pageant of the Masters. I really hope at some point they are able to serve real food, even if just light appetizers.
Wine and service was spectacular!!
The BEST winery in OC. A must if you're in the area.
Our experience was excellent. I think that their wines are limited in terms of taste between the different varieties. However their popcorn and cheese selection was great. I think it is a little expensive for what you get but all in all we had a great time and plan to attend again at another location.
Wine was delicious. Juliana made us a charcuterie board which was awesome. A very pleasant way to spend the afternoon.
We didnât have any food ðbut would love if you had some simple options like salads
A great place to relax and enjoy good friends, good service and great wines. Shout out to Taylor for being so accomodating for a "special visit" my wife and I made to the lounge.
The wines are great. Lots of options. Prepare for light snacks for purchase. No outside food allowed. Pourers are friendly and accommodating. Relaxing and covid friendly. Love to hang out here
