Hello! Wines

Hmmm, seems like the previous reviewer possibly does publicity for Hello! Wines… or maybe works at the «antique» (read: used) goods store that shares their space. Whatever the reason, she’s much too mild in her assessment. If Alameda is blossoming (and I certainly would argue that it is) it isn’t due to Hello! Wines.
We took the in-​laws to Hello in the spring, after a fine tasting at Rosenblum. This was our crucial mistake. We should have gone before, so that we could return to the house with happier memories. The winery gets points for trying, certainly – they have art shows, they have a somewhat cute name, they are near Rosenblum. But the sharing the space with a used goods store doesn’t lend great ambiance. And the wine, as my mother-​in-​law noted, «tastes like Missouri wine.» They are from Missouri, and that’s not a compliment.

Hello Wines in Alameda offers Petite Syrah, Zin, Tempranillo, Cabernet, Merlot. The first Friday of every month they have an open tasting party while displaying a new installment of local art.
Hello Wines is an up and coming cultural event for the blossoming Alameda community.
