Field Recordings

Had to look for someone to pour our tastes but once we did it was a relaxing and refreshing experience. Would drop in again and probably pick up some wine in a can. This was better than you’d expect and did not have that «can» taste. Stop in if you have the time! Worth it.

A wonderful tasting experience in Tin City. Interesting wines (reds and whites) ready to drink now all under $ 30. We happened upon Field Recordings Wine and were so happy we did.

Wow. If you are reading this, I envy you, because hopefully you are about to go and visit Field Recordings winery. We came across this winery today while poking around the area to see what new places have opened. We hit pay dirt when we stopped here. Normal hours are 11 – 5 but they were open at 10 because they were bottling. The winemaker, Andrew Jones, a self described field hand from way back, sources his fruit from great sites on the Central Coast. Great terroir often equals great wine, and Andrew doesn’t miss a beat on turning well managed fruit into fantastic wine. «I don’t want to sell a bottle of wine for over $ 30» is what he told me when we visited him on a blazing hot Saturday morning in August. Walking inside the tasting room, you are greeted with a visual treat, on the left side of use room stretches a chalkboard that described his many current bottlings, prodigious use of excellent adjectives describe his wines. On the right, you will see some beautiful photos of the vineyards that he manages, enlarged and stretched on a frame. The actual tasting room bar is a smart piece of work, stacks of his cases of wine with a wood frame and glass surface placed on top. The tasting fee is $ 10 but waived if (there is no «if» here, you will) you buy some vino. And you get to take home a nice tasting room vessel with the winery name on it. The entire experience is great, the wine cases have beautiful graphics of crows on them, the front door has a graphic of a flock of starlings, the whole experience is a visual and taste bonanza… lucky you! Now go inside and say hi for me!
