In 1979, Jerold O'Brien established this certified organic vineyards called Sliver Mountain !.I almost got lost when my first time visited it :-) . it goes a pretty narrow road up to the vineyards. I went on Passport day and there was a band playing life music ..I like the 2008 pinot noir form Mun's vineyard. the Alloy is great as well.

how surprise I met my friend Alina who is a beautiful Mom has 2 kids over there. it had been more than 1 year I did not contact with her. wow!! I was so happy to see my old friend and this make my awesome day !!

Testarossa Winery/Los Gatos/CA




          Testarosssa (Italian for "red head") Winery, Found in 1993 By Rob& Diana Jensen.
                                                                           

 
        The old stone cellars of the Novitiate Winery...                  The picnic area ..

        First time I visited the Testarossa winery,  I was impressed by the beautiful picnic area, friendly staffs and how it closed to down town Los Gatos. my friends and I can just walk up to the winery from main street or rest at the winery after a long hike in Santa Cluz mountain. I joined Testarossa wine club since March. although I need to buy 2 bottles of wines each month and it costs me a lot, I enjoy so much of the free wine tasting. good quality wines and facility. Specially I love to seat outside the picnic area, read my book along with a glass of pinot noir under sunny day, I can just spend my entire weekend afternoon over there...one of my favorite winery :-)
