Really glad we discovered Prie while on a trip to the Sierra foothills. Their wine was on the list of one of the restaurants we visited and we realized that the tasting room was on our way back home through Lodi. John is doing low alcohol, mostly little known varietals. What really caught our eye was the mencia, which is barely grown or produced in the US. He is doing a low alcohol, minimal intervention version which is very clean and food friendly. The Prieto picudo was also excellent. We didn’t try the mencia/prieto picudo blend but picked up a couple bottles regardless. If you are looking for something different, contrary to the huge California wines that have ruled for too long, this will be right up your alley. Cozy little tasting room on a quiet property. We will definitely return next come we come through.
Such a cozy place to enjoy some wine while embracing their vineyards beauty. I love their Incorrigible Wine the best! It’s not too busy so it’s a nice and relaxing place to just breathe in! Will definitely be back!
Had a great time here! My girlfriend and I went for a tasting with my family. The wines are delicate yet full of expression. Both the owners spent at least an hour talking to all of us and just hanging out. Great atmosphere, delicious and reasonably priced wines, awesome people! We will definitely be going back when we are in the area.
A Scientist making wine? Is this a non-traditional approach to wine making? As a local doing work here in Lodi for many years, I get to see many successful businesses and PRIE Winery is one of our successful Winery Gems. The owners, Lisa and John Gash, are the perfect example of the entrepreneurial community spirit I enjoy so much. I have watched them grow for a few years and today had the pleasure of tasting a flight of the 2019 wine offerings. My takeaway? For the first time I can remember, not a single one of John's wines left that after-taste sharpness on my pallet. All 8 of the tastings, from the "clear as fresh water" 2017 Vermentino (which I bought the most of) to the 2017 Incorrigible (an outstanding blend of estate grapes) to a well crafted 2016 Old Vine Zinfandel (a great and positive surprise to an old Zin guy like me) pay homage to the fantastic supply of wine grapes and talent we have in this area. The absolute beauty of the Lodi Wine Experience is young winemakers raising the bar of taste, excellence and variety in these smaller boutique wineries. Lisa and John are certainly an important part of this experience. If you have never seen wine-making in action, you need to remember there is "so much hard work" required to make wines this delicious. Johns scientist's description of the wine-making process makes me think his mind must be in every barrel supervising the molecules from start to finish as he works day and night to make Prie Winery even better. And the taste proves it. Magnificent wines designed (lucky for me) for my taste buds. I say this as I am watching a new vineyard John has planted with a little-known red wine varietal. The view to the East is vast and picturesque. Try the 2017 Mencia for a preview of what is soon coming to Prie Winery. I am excited and think you will be very surprised.
