On this day, 09/24/2020…The Grove House ordered Ramen from a newly opened (Feb 2020) restaurant in Mariposa called Little Shop of Ramen.

Lol…I just ran across this picture today…I can’t believe we are still here in 2026 when we opened right at the very beginning of COVID! But here we are, still slinging bowls of house made Ramen! And the Grove House has moved on up to a bigger and better place! Cheers to us both!

Stocked and ready! Pop in for a little Ramen next door, or stop in for a glass of w**e before going to dinner in town! We’ll be here serving the foothills finest! Nothing but Sierra Foothills AVA w**es highlighting our little region!

I miss our w**e pairing dinners! Its been a frustrating year for the dinners with multiple chefs/cooks backing out at the last minute. We will probably have a single dinner in the remaining months…but I’m looking towards next year! Working on some good ones so stay tuned!

Happy Birthday to our very own Dionysus! Come in and raise a glass to Travis on his Birthday 🍷

Sometimes you have to skip a section and forfeit the cluster that needs sprayed due to squatters! Cutest damn squatters I’ve seen in a long time though! We had a pretty bad powdery mildew in one of our vineyards this year so we hit it with an organic spray that knocks it out pretty good.
