This was my first time to do a wine tasting since moving here to Cali. Even I was new to this experience, I was welcomed and educated at the same time. The owner answered all of my (stupid) questions and never talked down to me.
I am normally a red wine drinker, so she kept me on that path as she gave me the samples. I enjoyed the way the whole place was decorated, very comfortable. I didn't notice until the end that at the base of the center table was this massive dog, just sleeping. He went perfect with the whole atmosphere of the place, I loved it.
I will be coming back! -

My husband and I are wine club members here and absolutely love it! We always love going in the tasting room and looking around at all they have to offer. They have the cutest little wine things and collectibles - tee shirts, bottle stoppers, signs, glasses, etc. I love the exposed brick wall - it's very casual and down to earth in there, and I love it. I love the owner, Anne - she is so sweet and very informative when you are sipping wines. We ordered a case of champagne from Sierra Starr for our wedding and we were not disappointed in the least... we LOVE their wines! Try the Almond Sparkling and the Peach... it's to die for!

A great tasting room with great staff. We went a couple days before Thanksgiving so I think it was slower than usual and we were pretty much the only group there and we didn't feel rushed at all. We all paid for a tasting ($5/each) which provided us with 5 tastings of any of their wines. Port tasting was extra. I wasn't particularly wowed by any of their wines, but we enjoyed the ambiance and hung around and purchased another glass of wine. We also ended up buying a bottle of their champagne for Thanksgiving. FYI, you don't have to pay for a tasting fee if you buy a bottle of wine... which was a great deal for us since we paid as a couple (which would equal $10), and the bottle of champagne was $16ish.

My friends and I visited this winery's tasting room today and we greeted by friendly and attentive staff members. Each recommended their favorite Zinfandels, and we were sold on the "Old Clone Zinfandel " Mmm...an affordable $16 price point.
There was another zin available to try, but it was not as tasty to us. It was called the "Phil's blend". Named after Phil--the head guy who grows the grapes and makes the wine. Oops. I didn't mean to knock your personal "blend". Oh well.
Sierra Starr Vineyard and Winery is a small family run operation.
They have a Sirius Sipper Wine Club. Siriusly!! ha...
The tasting room was a nice stop on the "Foothills Celebration" food and wine festival we attended today. -

Surprisingly, this winery has a champagne on the tasting list (which is the cheapest on the list!) I thought the champagne was very refreshing, but almost a little too dry for me.
I skipped tasting any of the red wines, so I can't review any of them. I wasn't super impressed with any of the whites, but none of them were bad either.
Tasting is complimentary. -

Love the Starr's and their wine! They have tastings often in the downtown tasting room, and tons of events at their vineyards (Music in the Vineyard, BBQ & The Blues, dinners) that are tons of fun. I would recommend Sierra Starr to anyone wanting great wine and anyone visiting the area who wants to do a wine tasting tour!

Complimentary tasting. We came on Saturday and the whole family that runs the winery was there. They were very nice and we able to really explain their wines. The champagne was very good, a little dry but lots of flavor and pretty inexpensive. Didn't care too much for their whites- a little too 'astringent'. But all in all good wines for decent prices.
