Lucid Winery & Tasting Room

John Laurence

As a certified sommelier it pains me to write anything other a than at minimum, an encouraging review of a small, local wine producer but I’m afraid that this establishment is in-fact producing and attempting to sell what is nothing other than fulminant flawed products. Then to add injury to insult, charge laughably high prices for what should have made its way into a waste container. For those that know, the pictured wine is of picpoul blanc (fruit from Lodi) and despite the moniker of “organic/natural wine making” and the description by the owner as “kombucha” style wine……this is perhaps the most flawed, oxidized, volatile acidified, contaminated wine I’ve ever encountered. I’m sad to say that this winemaker is bottling and selling his demonstrable lack of ability to produce actual wine and instead is charging $48 for what the French have produced for centuries as a simple, crisp table wine who's archetype is in western France (Pinet) and is imported and sold for anywhere from 9-14$ anywhere in the states……not to mention its rightful expression is almost clear/straw in color and slightly petillant with crisp lemon curd notes and hints of minerality. The pictures speak for themselves.

Had a great time at Lucid Winery and Tasting Room! We stumbled upon Lucid walked around R Street. They have a great wine tasting deal! $15 for 5 wines. They all tasted great! My favorites were the Cab and Zinfandel. There is a cool old book library in the back. Perfect place to just walk in and check out. The space is beautiful with tall ceilings and nice tables. John was friendly and gave great recommendations. Will come back!

Best wine I've had ever. The varieties and the experimentals! Flavors and combos I've never seen before. The sparkling, wine infusions are amazing. Now I have wines I can drink on summer days. Revolutionary wine making. Kevin is a Pioneer and full of enthusiasm for the a art. Also lovely, friendly staff. Our new watering hole.

I've utilized Voluptuary & Lucid Wines for two virtual wine tastings, and the experience has been fantastic! Kevin led our first wine tasting and Michael led our most recent one. In both cases, they made the event fun and entertaining. The wine itself is fabulous. In both tastings, we had five different wines and they were all exceptional. Jordan made booking the events easy, and I found the entire team to be super accommodating. Highly recommend them for your virtual event, and hopefully one day I can visit in person!
