Well, you got the trade experience, we got the other one.

When we visited Morii Moor, it was about this time of year. Slow down enough to push the kid off at college and then head to wine country. Their high end pinots were not available to taste at the tasting room and the basic one was expensive at $40ish as with eyes closed couldn't be distinguished from a $15 blend. Just nothing to it. The TR employees were so full of themselves and answered questions with so much pompous condescension, that the spouse left and waited in the car. For us, that was a waste of time.

However, over the hill in Carlton, we happened upon Monksgate. Very nice people, extremely nice pinot, and under $30. That was a find for us. I don't think they have regular tasting room hours, though. Just open on a few select weekends.
