"Every wine enthusiast should have five excellent, small wineries that nobody else has ever heard of at the ready to recommend to an inquiring friend.... Kimmel wins on every count. Their entry into my “love it” recommendation file started with their Chardonnay, a wine so delicious my tongue wanted to make love to my tonsils.." Jeff Lefevere, GoodGrape.com Read Jeff's very entertaining review at goodgrape.com 
"2007 Kimmel Merlot ... it speaks of juxtapositions and paradoxes: A buzzy rush of booze is balanced by fresh raspberry and blueberry notes." Read the full review at Drinkhacker.com
OUR PASSION: FRIENDS
The transition from "winegrowers" to "winemakers" put us in touch with a whole new world of experts and experiences. We are so grateful to those many friends - both old and new - who gave openly of their knowledge, encouraging us to develop our "signature" style for Kimmel Vineyards wines. We raise our glass to their friendship and hope you will to explore the wonderful world of Mendocino wine producers and seek out the fine dining experiences throughout California of those who have added our wine to their cellar list.
