auburn james winery

I visited here on a fluke last Saturday while attending the Fall Harvest Festival. It's in the heart of Danville and a very nice tasting room. The server Kathy was very pleasant and knowledgeable. While I wasn't crazy about their reds, I have to say that their 2008 North Coast Viognier was OUTSTANDING and in my opinion, one of the BEST I have EVER tasted. This was, a surprise! (a pleasant one!) They did have a more current Petit Verdot that I should say was pretty good but for whatever reason? This Viognier really seemed to outdo even that. They have some seating inside and outside and have music on Friday, Saturday night and Sunday I believe. Just a nice, different experience and I wish we had a few more in this little town as it is the perfect setting for such. There is a tasting fee, can't remember how much, $15 comes to mind...NOT a kids place whatsoever.
