Reviews about Ventimiglia Vineyard
- Steve AOct, 24 2018★ ★ ★ ★ ★Some of the best wines I've had in NJ, from a tiny family-owned winery. Do not come here if you're looking for the machine-like in-and-out tasting room experience you may get at the big boys, it's more like visiting a friend's house and being told history and facts of the wines on display. I personally have brought some of their wines to events where they stood head and shoulders above $75 bottles from CA or Italy. There's a reason they're on the short list at Restaurant Latour's 100,000 bottle wine cellar.
- Andrew FroehlichApr, 07 2018★ ★ ★ ★ ☆The tasting room for this winery is about the smallest I've ever seen. So much so that on a slow day, they will take just one couple at a time for the tasting. At max capacity, the counter could likely only take about four total people. They have some picnic tables right outside the tasting room, but they do not offer wines by the glass, as they do not allow you to drink by the glass on their property. That part was a bit of a let-down.
That's the bad, but then there is certainly some good. Usually, I have found that New Jersey wineries have pretty solid sweet wines, but the basic wines are unimpressive. That is certainly not the case at Ventimiglia. We spoke with Eugene, who seemed to own the establishment, and he discussed how sweet wine is not really what he considers true wine. He does offer a sweet white wine, but it has 4% residual sweetness, unlike the 12% punch of syrupy sweetness that can give you a headache at other wineries.
The rest of the wines there are not sweet, and we were impressed. We did not particularly love the Chardonnay, but we aren't white wine drinkers. The reds were all good, including a Carignane, Cab Franc, and Merlot.
We liked the wines and the service was nice for us, so this place is worth the visit. However, it's so small that you could end up with a wait. Additionally, the inability to enjoy a glass of wine on the premises leaves me unable to offer it a 5-star rating. - Eric SilvaFeb, 09 2018★ ★ ★ ★ ★The pourer was very nice to us and our kids and they had blocks for them to play with. The wine was delicious and each bottle had a short intro to go with it. Overall a lot of fun!
