Espinosa

Nestled in the Highland Valley section of Escondido, Espinosa is a very small, very new, boutique winery.  We made our third trip to the winery yesterday as part of a large group – our wine expert’s family – and were treated to some very fine wine in a wonderful setting (see picture below).

Espinosa does not have a restaurant, or music, or a real tasting room to speak of.  The tasting menu is written in chalk (see picture below).  All they have is very good wine.  This is a very nice winery if you want to get away from the crowd, just sit back and relax.  And while they don’t have a wine club, your $10 tasting fee can be applied to a bottle of their wine.
Now one very important point about Espinosa, namely, they pretty much sell everything that they make, so if you visit there and like a wine, buy it!  If it is really good you may not find it there on your next visit.
Which brings me to a second very important point about Espinosa, namely their Zinfandel.  If you have been reading my blogs you know that I don’t comment on specific wines, but this one is really, really good.  The bad news is that the 2015 is pretty much gone – we kinda bought all that was left -- and there is no 2016 on the way – you won’t be able to get any of their Zinfandel or even taste it until the fall of 2019.  The good news is that we got to taste it from the barrel and it is incredible!!  Now I don't mean you should wait until then to visit Espinosa, only you really need to visit then.
