Horrible Corks on mediocre wine. The cork disintegrated on two bottles purchased. He's not a winery. He's a wine broker. Most of his wine is shipped to Asia. Maybe cork fragments in wine is acceptable there.

Dave and I had a wonderful evening last week tasting Keith’s fabulous wines! He allowed us to park our RV there overnight, and he even joined us for dinner and shared his Story, which was quite amazing!
We would highly recommend his wines...we bought almost 3 cases😁🍷

I agree with the other one star reviewers. This was an odd experience and I'm not going to say anymore than that

We had an excellent time at the tasting! He is very knowledgeable and engaging.

BUT, something is very wrong. His wines are OLD. We're not wine connoisseurs, but the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc we bought was 13 years old. (They're supposed to be consumed within 2-3 years). Please see photo posted.

Something is very wrong in this industrial storage facility.

1. The tasting list was last updated 2.5 years ago. The list has the date on it. See photo.

2. During a tour of the storage facility we saw over 1000 cases of wines - most of which were from a 2003 vintage and some whites dated back to the 1990's. If the list prices for his wines are to believed, this would be about $500,000 worth of unsold inventory that is 15-25 years old.

3. The "collection" of art is everywhere and Keith Nichols says that some of it was worth

My wife and I had so much fun with Keith Nichols @ his winery. He is a great host and the Grandmaster of his great winery. He gives a great tour and his place is full of wonderful art items to look at all while we enjoyed his handcrafted wines. We will be back soon.
