Hi Jennifer,
When I received your email about your wine tasting room opening, I did not have time to go to the website.  Well I spent the last two hours reading your entire post. You did a great job and all the pictures were just so nice.  I feel like I just met your whole family and it sounds like your mike is a great guy who really works hard and supports you, my favorite picture was of you and your dad.  I enjoyed getting to know a little about you and your passion for wine.
God's many blessings to you, your family, mike and your dream of the perfect wine,

Pamo Valley's new Ramona wine tasting room is a definite stop for any wine aficionado.  Jennifer Jenkin is fairly new to the wine business, but for a vintner in less than her first decade, she has certainly gone to the head of the class.  In my opinion, the best of all the local Ramona wineries, Pamo Valley puts out increasingly finer wines with each new bottling.  Between the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2009 Sangiovese, and the new 2010 JJJ Ramona Blush and 2008 JJJ Sunset Passion blend, there is a wine to please everyone's palate.  I became aware of just how good Jenn was getting at her craft by drinking her heady and rich 2007 Cab on Fire. I appreciated its deep layered flavors and inter mingled aromas.  Now I'm happy to note that the new wines, of which there are now many more varieties, are reflecting that same care and technique in their creation.   I can't wait to see what Pamo Valley comes up with next.  And to make finding out what's new from Pamo Valley so much better, the recently opened tasting room is the icing on the cake. Jennifer her family have designed a small, warm inviting atmosphere complete with a beautiful serving bar. Being there, in her presence, is like tasting wine at a good friend's house.  Along with many chic and 'so girly' gift items, she displays everything you might need to serve and drink wine with, plus a few items more you might not have otherwise known you needed. The location is easy to miss as you drive by, so if you're from out of town, be sure to know that 603 Main St. address. I hope that a generous amount of wine lovers find this delightful boutique winery, because then I know that Jenn will be in business for a very long time.

Hello Jennifer,  We had a great time at your new tasting room and we loved the wine.  It's obvious you've put a lot of time, love and effort into your new facility.  Glad we had the opportunity to meet your Dad also.  I'm sure we'll be seeing you soon!

Thank you, Jennifer, for including us in your pre-opening festivities.  I was very honest when I said how impressed I am by your beautiful tasting room and how proud I am to have such a classy addition to Ramona’s tasting rooms.  You and Mike did a wonderful job.  We wish you nothing but success which, I have no doubt you’ll have!

It is always a pleasure to have Pamo Valley Winery come up and do wine tastings for our members and guests. Everyone always has a great time with Jennifer and Mike. They are very knowledgable and informational about their wine. They promote great fun amongst the members at our resort. I have been working with Jennifer for a little over a year now and always look forward to her and her wine as do our members. You are awesome!

We can’t recall the last time we had more fun when visiting a winery. We were lucky enough to watch, and help with, the Petite Syrah crush. After that, Jennifer gave us some barrel tastings before she led us on a tour of the estate vineyards.  We LOVED all of the wines we tasted - the Sangiovese, the Syrah, and “Passion” – a uniquely wonderful and floral red blend.  Jennifer is a truly talented winemaker whose passion and love for her wines shows through their outstanding quality and flavor.  We look forward to enjoying many more wines from Pamo Valley Winery!

Thank you so much for a fun afternoon of wine tasting. It was not only informative and good listening but you were very generous with your samplings. It was a mellow day for Mother's Day celebrations. Always remember that Moms know how to do it right! And, so do Grandmothers! We appreciate the effort you made to give us a great program!

Sincerely,

What an absolute treat it was to visit your vineyard.  You, Mike and John are first class and the educational wine experience you provided was amazing.  I loved the progression of wines that John followed all the while leading up to one of the most amazing wines I have ever tasted in the 2006 Estate Syrah, which is why I put in an order for a case.  It is obvious that you put a lot of attention and love into your wines, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon.  Consider me a life long customer.  Anytime I get back to southern California you can count on me stopping by and seeing what is new at Pamo Valley Winery.

All my Best,

Pamo Valley Winerys’ wine tasting at our overflow Open House was a huge success. Their outstanding wines are a prime example of San Diego North County inland challenge to Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

John and Jennifer,

Can't tell you how much Larry and I and our whole party (Bill and Kathy Schweitzer and Bob and Patty Weirick) LOVED last night's wine and bison pairing dinner at Jeremy's on the Hill in Wynola.  The entire venue was wonderful!  The service was impeccable and the food and wine were spectacular!  But most of all, we loved the focus on the food and wine pairings; and, John, your introductory comments to each course were so well done!!  Everyone at our table was talking about the fabulous wine flavors that were so perfectly enhanced by the food choices. The amounts of food and wine were just perfect and it was so nice to have a venue that encouraged everyone to savor and enjoy each course (too often the food is a feeding frenzy and the wine is an after thought).  Thank you for organizing such a nice evening.  We look forward to the next event.


A pleased customer,

Jennifer,

I enjoyed our visit today and thank you very much for the 2006 Estate Syrah. Lisa and I shared a bottle with dinner tonight. Not surprisingly, she loves it! Surprisingly, I got more than my half of the bottle.  Benefits of being the cook.......... :)

Hi Jenn!  The 2006 Estate Syrah is outstanding!  Keep it up!

You and your “team” really put their heart and soul into your new vineyard. You have tremendous support. When drinking your wines - as I have done with joy a number of times - I taste the love and caring that went into producing them. Now I have and will always have the visual and narrative complement the nose, body and finish.

I really think Pamo Valley is the best syrah I have tasted. It is really smooth and puts others to shame I'm afraid! I wish you continued success! You obviously work very hard for your much-earned reputation in the wine industry! I WANT MORE!!!

By the way, I have been a big fan of your 2004 Ramona Trio, 2005 Ramona Meritage, and 2005 Syrah. I have enjoyed several bottles of each and given them to friends as gifts. I am quite sorry that I did not lay in case quantities.
Best regards,

Tom Stark

Just a quick note to let you know how much my wife and I have been enjoying your wines. So far we've tried the 2005 Syrah and the 2004 Ramona Trio, both are very nice. We're looking forward to your next release of your Estate Syrah. Please let us know when it's ready!

Pamo Valley Syrah is a customer favorite, a brilliant example of San Diego County Wine. We love it! See you soon!

We opened a bottle of your 2005 Reserve Chardonnay. I love it!! It is the best Chardonnay I've ever had. How can we order more?

Congratulations, Pamo Valley's Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese made a pretty good showing from the San Diego County Vineyard Association judging for the Regional Wine Tasting Event in Temecula.
Lum Eisenman

My daughter in law's family gave me two bottles of your wine for Christmas and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Merlot. Have not had any of the Trio yet. I make my own Pinot Noir and Chamborcin and have a first hand understanding of the difficulty in growing good grapes, and making fine wine. Wish Maryland 's laws were more lax so we could import some. Let me know if you deal with any distributors on the east coast. Keep up the good work!
