The service and stories of the owner Larry were awesome. Grounds and back dance hall beautiful never would have guessed from the outside. Huge outdoor shaded patio for the dogs, and the wine was very very good. Usually open on weekends but best to make a reservation first.
Had a really good steak dinner years ago while building a power plant in Taft. Sunrise. Very hospitable and accommodating.
On the side of lonely California desert road, across a worn down porch in need of paint, and behind a rickety screen door, you'll find the proprietors of Sagebrush Annie's. The couple have built a one-of-a-kind shack in a forgotten corner of the world. It's lonely and quiet in these parts, but I don't think they'd have it any other way. The folks that run the place are friendly as hell. They were amiable enough to show us around the property. Not that we asked. They just did it. But they were wise enough to let us be, sitting on their picnic tables by ourselves enjoying the wine and the quiet, open views.
The wine? It's good. Pretty damn good, actually. We tried them all. Twice.
It was truly a great experience to stop and taste here. We didn't have reservations, but thankfully Larry was there expecting another person. He was kind enough to welcome us and our dogs in and let us do a tasting. There is a great patio supplying plenty of shade from the hot sun in the valley. Larry was a pleasure to talk to about wine and life as he has a lot to share. The wines are excellent and we had a hard time picking out a couple favorites because they were all good. It is an absolute must to make reservations and stop here if you are a wine lover. From the street it doesn't look promising, but once you get inside and taste the wine you won't care how the street front looks. Plus there is a beautiful converted barn in the back for events. Can't wait until next time we go back through.
Made 2 new friends today! Oh, and had some great wine!
