We live in Albuquerque, and when friends visit from out of town, my husband and I always take them to the Gruet Winery because it's so much fun! In early June, my mother, my husband, and I, and several friends from Michigan, went to the Gruet tasting room -- seven of us -- and we had a great time seeing the winery (it was the fourth time for ...

Donald must have been fired.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/15/06
My wife and I went for the tasting only. We were there on a Monday morning so naturally we were the only ones there. Our pourer was a pleasant French woman who knew a bit about wine but didn't push her knowledge on us. The bar had a foot rail but it would have been nice to have chairs or stools instead of standing. Gruet charges $5 or $6 (I ...

best little champagne ever
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/10/05
I am not reviewing the place but the wine. It is one of the best inexpensive champagnes I have ever had here in the U.S. or Europe.

Great wines, great place, good people
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/04/05
My wife and I stopped by recently and took a tour of the winery and enjoyed a tasting afterwards. The tour was fascinating and very well presented. Our tour guide and tasting room person was a lot of fun. He was very knowledgeable, and presented the Gruet wines very well. We left with two cases of assorted wines, only because we were limited for space in our car. Thank you Gruet Winery for a great experience. We love your wines!

Do not go!

I think this winery has great potential. Owners may want to educate themselves on how the public is being treated by employees. Wine tour should be a light hearted and friendly experience as opposed to a lecture. I intended to buy a case of sparkling wine but b/c of the demeanor of the salesperson, I left while he was engaged in an argument with another customer.

Horrible Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/26/05
We went to the Gruet for a tour and tasting the tour guide was the rudest person I have ever met. He would scold the group if they would ask questions and while attending to some of the customers waiting to taste some wine he yelled at the customer that too many people were talking to him at once and he can't talk to everyone. His name was Donald, we ended up leaving before the wine tasting. I would recommend any other winery
