When I first stepped on to the Malibu Wines property, I immediately felt at ease. No traffic, no noise, just nature and one of nature's true gifts to man...great wine! Nestled in the rugged surroundings of the Santa Monica Mountains I found a little Shangri-La and at the center of it a little structure that looked something like a trading post. As I approached the small stone building I was greeted with smiles and a sincere friendliness that made me feel as if I had known these people for years. We chatted for a bit and then eased into the tasting. The wines were magnificent! I travelled from a crisp Chardonney, to Merlot, Cab and finally to one of the best Syrah's I've ever tasted! Each wine with an artisan's structure but a heart set firmly in Malibu. If you are seeking a quick get away or just some afternoon romance, travel the short distance to Malibu Wines. You feel worlds away and yet right at home. A great place to try some truly great local wines!
Pros: Superior Wine, Beautiful location
Cons: having to leave
