Grace Family Vineyards

It's too bad they aren't open to the public or have a tasting room. This is about as good as Napa Cabernet gets. Big and Bold as the way Norcal Wine Country should be. It's definitely on the pricey side, but as a person that doesn't usually drink Cabernet by default and usually only if I have food, this was still tremendous standalone. Kudos to our sommelier who was not only highly entertaining, he definitely hit it out of the park as a recommendation. The "Blank Vineyard" cabernet is truly a great wine. I hear that they also make olive oil.

Grace Family Vineyards regrets that the winery is not open to the public, nor do they have a tasting room.

Roblar Winery

Roblar Winery wines reflect the diversity of Santa Ynez Valley, with an east-west transverse range that allows the Pacific Ocean a significant influence with near-daily fog and crisp ocean breezes. This cooler climate leads to wines with firm structure, plenty of secondary flavors, and great potential for aging.

Robinson Family Vineyards

Susie provided a lot of history about the winery and the two labels - Robinson Family and Great Legs. While I only bought two bottles it was not because I did not want more it was just that I only had limited space. When I come back in January 2013, I will definitely be visiting again with my group. I appreciated the fact Susie Robinson took the time to visit during my tasting even though I was only a party of one. A nice small place, just like the places I like to visit in wine country.

Yorkville Cellars

This is the place if you like the wines of Bordeaux, individually and collectively. And when I mean Bordeaux, I mean the varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. They actually had two of the white Bordeaux grapes, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion. CARMENERE!!! With only 50 acres is California, Yorkville Cellars has 2 of them. Its pretty much gone in France and now Its all about Chile. Its an incredible wine with such vibrancy and juicy feel.

Longboard Vineyards

Wines were nice and we really LOVED the vibe in this surfer-chic tasting room. It's a dogs-welcome kind of spot where you want to stand around and chat up all the customers who wander in.
Definitely worth a stop when you are in Healdsburg.

Watts Winery

The Watts family has been growing grapes for four generations. Watts vineyards enjoy a unique microclimate near the Mokelumne River. After years of providing grapes to the best-known wineries in California, Watts Winery decided to make their own wine a 1999 Old Vine Zinfandel.
Today, we offer many different varietals of award-winning wine.

Caelesta Wines, Vineyard & Truffiere

Painting by Agata Zaborowski

Caeelsta winery showcases the potential of the Templeton Gap AVA for premium Rhône, Bordeaux, and Spanish varieties while creating a sustainable, family-operated ranch for generations to come. The estate vineyard’s diversity of vineyard aspects and unique microclimates allow Caelesta to grow premium fruit. Coupled with rootstock and clone choices to restrict yield and enhance quality, we are excited to begin working with talented winemakers on the Central Coast to bring our love and dedication to this property to a bottle near you.

Cactus Star Vineyards

Cactus Star Vineyard crafts its wine from grapes grown on the vineyard premises and occasionally from grapes obtained from other Ramona Valley vineyards within the RVA appellation. On-premise grape varieties are: Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec.

Pozo Valley Winery

The vineyard was planted in 1995 by Steve Arnold, with the help of his wife Debbie, and children Joey & Michelle.  For years special attention has been given to producing grapes of the highest quality.  Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot were the varietals chosen for their suitability to the valley's soils and climate. In 2007 the Arnold family expanded ever so slightly by adding 1/2 an acre of Viognier to their 32 acre vineyard.
