Sheehan Winery

Amazing wine. Love this winery. Friendly, not pretentious. Always a good time! This time around we went as part of yelp elites wine picking event. Great time. The owner is super sweet and humble, and very hands on at the winery.

If you are in Old Town you have to stop by the Sheehan tasting room in Old Town. Their wine is divine and my favorite in New Mexico. You can tell that it is produced by love and dedication to quality. You can do a tasting of several wines and decide on your favorite. Then order a glass of your favorite and sit inside or in their outdoor patio. If you are hungry they don't serve food but you can order bbq from Fat T's which is located in the same courtyard.

It was my first visit to this wine tasting room. There was a large group on the patio in front of the building where the tastings are held. They were having a grand time. As I walked into the tasting room area, which is also where the wine is produced, I was greeted very warmly by Sean the owner. The next to greet me was Lori. I got seated and took a picture or two while I waited for my group of four to arrive.Once our tasting comments both Lori and a lovely young woman by the name of Lyric both served our wine offerings. They brought us a cheese and cracker platter gratis. We were also furnished with a list of about 15 different wines. This was a formal organized type of tasting. In the future, they will begin charging I believe $10 for tasting for non-members, but currently the tastings are actually free. Most of the wineries in Albuquerque and Corrales charge for tastings and sometimes they give you a credit towards purchases. The model here I think works too since everyone in our our party purchase a minimum of two bottles of wine. There was no push we didn't feel pressured. In fact, Lori lyric and Sean were delightful and provided so much information to us that we just felt excited about making our wine purchases.We were there in a very beautiful Sunday afternoon and it was very pleasing to sit in this space and just enjoy some wine and cheese and learn a little bit about their offerings.

They held a grape picking event with YELP Elites. Grapes from a one acre vineyard were picked on Saturday. In two years, the fruit of these efforts will be bottled.There was a lovely gathering of YELPers and some great wine tasting. M'Tucci's provided a tasty crudités platter and yummy cookies. We learned about the history of this young award winning vineyard. We wish them continued success

I love visiting Sheehan Winery. I went with some friends recently for a small group, socially distanced tasting. I needed my wine fix! They do a great job explaining the origins and processing of the various wines, and the wine club is a great deal! Sheehan offers many varieties, including quite a few reds, whites, roses, and even a few port and dessert wines. Along with the informative tasting discussion, each tasting includes a plate of palate cleansers such as crackers, cheese cubes, Apple slices, water, etc. My favorite wines are slainte (mild, fruity red) and two whites, Malvasia Bianca and Vidal Blanc. I would include a photo, but I already gave away or finished my wine. Time for another tasting!

When we were first invited to join some friends for a wine tasting, I kept trying to picture it nestled in the south valley. We arrived at the address listed in my invite. Behind the home of the Sheehan's is their quaint little wine tasting headquarters. People began strolling in and they had a growing crowd. Everyone picked a glass from the tables and the pouring began. Each person is given a list of the wines that will be served. Both red and white. Sean makes this whole experience a joy! His passion for the wine making process alone is simply magnificent. He has such wonderful incite and the way he describes each wine and the making tops off the experience.We will be back for sure! Needless to say we brought a few bottles home and enjoyed one over the weekend with our Valentine dinner.

This place is local. It doesn't look like much driving past it on the street, but they have a wine tasting area set up in the backyard and indoor storage for their wines and tasting. They've been doing tastings every weekend and the booking sure goes fast (they have half hour slots, but we probably spent close to 2 hours there). They gave us a tray of 4 cheeses - the Dubliner (like a sharp cheddar), Blarney Castle (gouda-style cheese from Ireland), Merlot Bellavitano (rich, creamy cheese with berry and plum notes of merlot), and a Havarti. We were able to try close to 16 wines (small portions, don't worry) ranging from dry to sweet. Wasn't a huge fan of the dry, but that's just personal preference. We ended up leaving with one of their "Cielo Dulce" , a 70% Riesling brand with hints of orange and honey. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. If you want, you can join the wine club and get to try 3 wines per quarter at 20% off. They said they will be opening a tasting room in Old Town later this year that will be free to wine club members. 2021 #48

Brought my family from California to Old Town & for some their 1st time. To our surprise their winery gives 5 samples & their membership is the most affordable in Old Town .

Very cool experience! I have some grapes growing in my backyard and I would harvest them every year but this was even more fun!

Very distinctively delicious wine offering and a family feel winery that employs caring attentive staff.
