Abundance Vineyards

I visited Abundance Winery on March 18, 2009 for the first time. Both Mencarini brothers were there and were friendly and helpful. Loved the Italian look and feel of the place. Bought a delicious white wine that was a steal at $11.00. Wonderful experience and will come back.

We first visited the winery during the Post & Chocolate event, then heard the tasting room had a grand opening yesterday, and made another visit today. The prices are reasonable, but beware, contrary to what is posted on this site, Abundance does charge $5 per person to charge, but that charge is NOT applicable to a purchase, so tack on $5 per person to the price of your purchase. We were ready to purchase but were told that our tasting fee would not be applied, so in the end we chose not to buy. Being the only people in the tasting room it was somewhat awkward, then to top it off, as we left the room the owner commented "that's it" as we walked out. Although they were not unfriendly, it is not likely we will return. The wines did not jump out at us by the time you add $5 - $10 additional for tasting, there are other places in Lodi that we frequent and get very nice wines for $20 (including the fee).
