SER WINERY OUTDOOR TASTING
Winemaker Nicole Walsh is splitting her time these days between vineyards and tasting room, the sort of multitasking that makes her wine-loving fans happy. To make them even happier, Walsh has opened up her Aptos Village Tasting Room for outdoor seating.
Under the huge ochre shade umbrellas, tasters can sample some of the engaging and distinctive wines made by the woman who also finds time to surf when she isn’t tweaking the vines that go into Randall Grahm’s unusual varietals. Of course you can always order and pick up curbside Ser’s 2015 Cabernet Pfeffer, the celebrated Rosé of Cinsault, or my favorite: the minerally 2017 Dry Riesling, Wirz Vineyard. All offer handcrafting and loads of terroir. Make a reservation for al fresco tasting.
Tasting room open Friday-Saturday 3-7pm; Sunday 2-6pm. Curbside pickup also available. 10 Parade St., Suite B, Aptos. serwinery.com.
