We just happened to spot this gem of a tasting room/winery on West Julian St. Its right around the corner from the Whole Foods on the Alameda. We parked in their back parking lot but entered the tasting room at the front. We were immediately greeted by friendly staff, including the wine maker, who started us with a tasting. We were delighted by the wines. They were bright, balanced and complex, and had many characteristics of good California wines. We tried a Grenache Blanc, Viognier, 2 Pinots, Syrah and a late harvest dessert wine. We loved the wines. And over the course of our tasting decided to become club members. I think what we loved the most was the hospitality, the wine makers passion and knowledge of his wines, and of course the wines themselves. I highly recommend Coterie Cellars if you love bright, balanced California wines and a tasting room thats friendly and welcoming!

Kyle was very knowledgeable and friendly. Several pinot noir varietals, a syrah. viognier and rousanne. They were out of Rousanne. Especially liked the Tondre Pinot Noir and Russian River Viognier. I decided to become a member for a few reasons. 2 miles from home so no problem picking up shipments and its convenient for me to go wine tasting. As a wine member tasting is free and bottles are 15-30% off their retail price (some wineries like Storrs in Santa Cruz expect you to purchase at least a case to get 15% off). They only have 2 shipments a year (your choice of 3 or 6 bottles per shipment) compared to a lot of other wineries that expect you to accept 2-4 bottles every 6 weeks to 3 months.. Finally, I get to chose which of the bottles I want in my shipment. I like the idea of doing some convenient free wine tasting before deciding which 3 bottles I want.

Dont miss the chance to go here, meet the proprietor/wine maker (Kyle), and taste these excellent wines. The owner and his family are outstanding people and fantastic wine-makers. The pricing is quite reasonable considering what you get.

Coterie has a beautiful new tasting room to go with their exceptional wines. I particularly love their pinot noirs and syrah. They are a friendly bunch, too.
