I think Dirty Laundry Vineyard has been mentioned in this thread... it was a bit campy for our taste. I get that a wine experience can be less refined, and doesn't need to be stuffy. But Dirty Laundry just felt a bit too much like a Hard Rock Cafe or a Vegas gift shop for us. I don't mean that as a knock, it just didn't appeal to me or my wife, the crowd there seemed to be enjoying it.

Not a fan of Black Widow at all although friends I was with picked up a bottle or two.
Moraine down the road a bit from Black Widow had the absolute best Pinot Noir i've had in years. Bought 6 bottles of it. Highly recommended if you like Pinot Noir
