Tasting:
Bring your energy if you're headed to the St. Clement tasting room -- the winery is perched on a knoll, and it's a steep uphill walk to get to the tasting room. Once there, though, the beautiful views are worth the hike. Inside the tasting room, you find yourself in a small room of a hundred-year-old house, complete with some of the original fixtures (hinges, etc). The tasting bar is small, allowing for 4-6 people to comfortably fit shoulder to shoulder.

St. Clement offers a number of tasting options. Their "Main Tasting" offers two whites and three reds for $10. Their "Reds Only Tasting" allows you to choose any five red wines, including the current release Oroppas and reserve Cabernets for $15. They also offer a five year vertical flight of their Bordeaux blend, Oroppas, for $20.

I did a "Reds Only Tasting" and was very pleased with the majority of the wines I tried. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they were willing to pour us anything we asked for. Overall, this was a very good experience.

Recommended wine: Their Oroppas blend is very good, and they have a number of Reserve Cabernets that were all excellent.
