The second winery is a winery and country store and cafe. We grabbed a bite to eat here then ventured into the tasting room. Phillips farm, originally devoted to vegetables. The Phillips farm evolved to include many different fruits, including fifteen wine varietals that were shipped throughout the country during Prohibition with instructions on "how not to have the grapes turn into wine" thereby, Prohibition was good for Lodi growers with families everywhere keeping up the tradition of wine with meals by ordering these grapes and "juice" to be bottled at home.
Michael and David Phillips represent the fifth generation of growers in Lodi.
