Happy New Year. I am excited to report that the SF Chronicle Wine Section's secret tasting room shopper came by Gundlach Bundschu's tasting room at some point recently and had an 'excellent' time. 'Good' and 'Fair' are more the norm for these reviews, so we are stoked. Despite Chicken Little's accuracy of late, we will take it as good omen for 09!
This is as close as we get around here to a restaurant review, and as you might imagine one can get nervous about an impending visit. Our tasting room hadn't been reviewed recently despite numerous interactions with the paper on account of our 150th anniversary, so we suspected it would come sooner or later. Truth be told, I am confident to the point of cockiness that we have one of the best winery crews and tasting rooms in the business, so I didn't loose too much sleep. Well, the review came in the form of the Chron's first tasting room review of 2009, and our rockstar staff delivered as expected. They are the best.
