I've never visited or tasted Rombauer, but will someday. In all the wineries that I have ever visited, (just like any retail business, I suppose), their way was always better than the other guy's. I always take it with a grain of salt and move on with conversation. I've tasted wine from some wineries that have a fabulous reputation, and absolutely hated it. I've also tasted from some real no-name small guys and loved it. Making wine is an art, and no artist paints the same way. How it tastes to YOU is the only thing that matters. Wine snobbery is real, whether the wine is good or bad.
