Read MoreStopped by Treasure Island Wines for a music concert last evening. This winery has been in business for 12 years out on Treasure Island - which is a trip. The owner and winemakers are interesting down-to-earth folk with admirable taste. The wine is excellent, especially considering cost. Would highly recommend the Umbriaso Rosé.
As a concert venue it is delightful. The stage is placed wisely and the seating area is hollowed out and void of clutter to allow the much better than expected acoustics to perform well as able. As host of an intimate concert, there are a few tough elements with which the performer and audience must deal, and the comfort of the seating leaves some room to be desired.
Getting to Treasure Island is not overly difficult. Take the 25 bus from downtown if you are cheap and fond of reality and breathtaking bridge views. It’s also a good way to avoid traffic. Uber and lyft drivers may despise taking you there, but they have no choice. Your best bet may be to drive yourself as you will find ample space to park, but always be wise to check the traffic getting onto the bridge first. Your GPS and internet may not work on the island, which is frustrating but endearing - as mentioned before, the island is a trip. Fortunately, there are some signs pointing directions to various businesses. One can stop at the Mersea Restaurant for dining before or after wining. There is also an iconic hot dog vendor.
Overall, I am eager to return for a weekend wine tasting, and would recommend others do the same. I am impressed by the wine, and also confident in the winery’s prospects as a musical venue due to the refreshing musical knowledge and savvy of the proprietors.
Will take pictures next time...
