Wine Tasting in Los Angeles

So my friends and I go winetasting... well... A LOT.
We have done  Temecula, Solvang, Paso Robles, some tasting rooms in the city, some of us have done Santat Barbara, Ojai and Napa.

So... yeah... we know wine tasting.
We may not have the snobby palette yet... but I am sure one day we will.  As of now, we go wine tasting to have a good time, to find some wine we like and to let loose... just a little bit.


So, when a friend from out of town came by... we wanted to do some tasting... but an over night was not in the picture...but a day trip... that was doable.


So... we went to Malibu...

We only did 2 cause... well we felt very happy after the second place.

to start...  SIP.






SIP is right off Kanan Road on the way to Malibu from the 101.

SIP... its cute!!! They have a great set up, and some great wines.
They have a great patio you can taste in, or you can hang out inside by the bar.

One of the things I thought was cool...was they offered different tastings, so that if you love white wine... you could choose the White Flight, or if you are a fan of reds... the Red Flight... they also had a Mixed Flight and a Woodstock Flight which were a little more expensive wines, which I believe was all red wine.

So... of course my group of seven... we all had different flights... why make it easy on the barista?
But we had a great time... we started outside and then eventually found ourselves finishing our flight inside.

Also... next door is a country market that serves food.  Its a small grill counter inside the market.  The Rustic Canyon Grill.



Now, its not gourmet food... but I ordered a veggie burger...and it was reallllllly good. Plus... if you can sit outside in the hills, they have fountains and tons of trees... you enjoy a glass of wine and a burger or some fries... its a pretty nice day.  I mean... come on... who can find anything wrong with that?

Our next stop?  Well you will have to wait for my next post....
