After eating dinner at Savoury's, my partner-in-crime and I decided to walk around Mariposa before driving back down to Merced. So glad we did!We saw this place and I noticed that they not only do wine tasting, but also beer tasting, which sounded good to us.We walked in, and Brett was pouring wine for a cute S.F. couple. We waited a minute and he walked us all over to the beer station for the beer tasting (all brewed by Scott Chappelle-- I think his brother makes the wine that they serve there). We really enjoyed the four beers (the tastes)-- they had a light hoppy one, a "red ale," a nut brown one, and a porter. Everyone loved the nut brown one, and we bought a bottle to take home. Honestly, the beer was good but not so different from other beers we've had, but Brett was a lot of fun, and we lucked out with that couple-- they were really sweet. In terms of wine, we didn't have any, but it all looked like reds and a red dessert wine to me, so if you only drink white wine, this may not be the place for you.Highly recommend when Brett is there-- not sure what the other sommeliers / beer wizards are like. :DI think wine tastings are around $6, and beer tastings are $5 for about 4 3-ounce glasses, and I don't think it's waived even if you buy beer/wine.
