Trojak'knier Winery - Half Moon Bay

Friendly atmosphere knowledgeable of his wines unique selection

Eric (I think that is the owner) was pouring. Good source of info. He makes the wine. Great stop. Appreciated learning more about wine and the process. The wine was very good but a tad on the expensive side. Appreciated that lack of pushing to become a member and the genuine kindness he extended.

Hidden gem. Definitely a must stop while in half moon bay. Small batch varietals super tasteful! A small warehouse towards the end of the street on the right side. Eric is the owner and very friendly. The vibe is super chill and the owner is not all up in your business. Easy going and relaxed so he can seem like he is uninterested in you, but I didn't feel that was the case. His wife Lynne was also there as well, super nice and personable. There were two areas to sit, again, small place so heating was max of 12?13? A flight is $10. Many award winning wines. Don't take my word for it. :

This place is a hidden gem and although it's a more casual tasting room environment...garage setting right on the coast, it totally rocks. All of the wines stood out and I especially liked the chardonnay, and the cabernet. I am usually not a zinfandel fan but this one was really good as the wine maker blended it with another varietal to make it more palatable to my taste. The pours are a bit small but when you have five or six good ones to try it probably comes out to be about a glass. He also has pinot noir and chianti which I also liked a lot. I ended up buying a case of wine and got home and wish I had bought more. I will be back for more soon. I am running out of everything I bought. The holidays...Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's are coming up soon and these wines will go with everything I am doing.

We landed at the Trojak Knier winery by mistake when we got off at the wrong hiking trail, however it was the best mistake we were warmly greeted, especially with our puppy baby in tow. The hosts were wonderful, there was plenty of wine to taste, so much that we ended up taking home 3 bottles on the spot! Save some time driving to Napa and make a visit here!
