We were at the first dinner - amazing. Then, when we came to second dinner we wondered how you'd top yourself. But you did. And this year, we wondered again and were blown away. How do you do it?

What a great time we had! Thank you for everything you did to make this evening special for everyone - it shows in all the small details as well as the delicious food and wine. Will you adopt us, please?

Just wanted to thank you for a fabulous dining experience on Valentine's Day. When my Dallas area boyfriend picked me up in my Azle home and proceeded to drive us so close by for a dinner he asked me to dress up for, well, I was concerned for his mental health. But, the dinner was far and away more than I could have ever expected this close to Azle. And I thought you might like to know that after dinner, in your parking lot, under the stars and all, he proposed and I accepted. Your atmosphere and great dining experience will always be a part of the beginning of our engagement,

We are very well traveled people who love fine dining. This dinner was one of the top five dinners we've ever had *in our lives*,
and we're not sure where in that top five it is..... :-)

Sublime. Absolutely sublime.

My boyfriend and I attended your winery for this dinner and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was great and paired perfectly with your wines. The music was wonderful and all three along with the setting, perfectly complimented the other. We had a great time and the fact that we knew there would be no smoking there in the winery and since some of the cost of the meal was for the wine, we pretty much figured it would be a nice class of people with no children or teens causing a ruckus to take away from the moment. I just don't see how it could have been any better! It was nice to see couples going into the foyer area to dance and from what I could see, it would appear that everyone else loved it as much as James and I did. Thank you again for making our evening so memorable.

just wanted to say thanks for an outstanding evening...........took a blind chance on reservations with you, not knowing anything about the winery..............satisfied beyond measure...........we were part of the early crowd........hope the late crowd didn't mind waiting on us to finish..................you can go ahead and put us down for next year..........we definitely want a return engagement......................
