I'm not quite sure what journeysolo is talking about. Over the past few years I've done a lot of tasting and sampling of different wines from up and down California and from Australia as well.

If you like Australian wines, but not the price of a plane ticket to visit the Hunter Valley, Kalyra is right for you. I wouldn't make it your only stop, but it is a fun one.

My husband and I visited several wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley. Inspired by the movie "Sideways" we made a stop at Kalyra. Of the six wineries we visited, we found Kalyra the most hospitable, friendly, warm, informative and welcoming of all. This was our first wine tasting trip and my husbands first exposure to wine and wine tasting. Kalyra... more
