It’s that time of year. Time for a whirlwind of wine tasting and tours. Last Fall it was Willamette Valley, this time we are headed for Sonoma. Thanks to my many online and local friends from providing some insight as to wineries we should visit. Shout out to @ShanaRay, Michael Bryan of AWS, the Cribb’s (backdoor neighbor) and many others who will probably be offended because I couldn’t list them all… sorry! Here’s a quick GoogleEarth view of what we have listed so far, though there will be many others squeezed in no doubt along the way.
We will be in Santa Rosa for the 2nd annual Wineblogger’s Conference this weekend (7/24-26) and then four days of nothing but tasting and touring the vineyards with some early morning road bike rides as well. OH GLORIOUS DAYS!!! Our hub is the Vintners Inn just north of Santa Rosa and if you’ve got a favorite winery, please comment and let us know… we may just decide to drop by and we’ll tell you how it was.

Awesome! I know you will enjoy the wineries I suggested! Look forward to meeting you!
I guess I’m in a typing mood tonight. I love Sonoma. If you get off at the Healdsburg exit, take a left on Dry Creek Rd., and you can spend a whole day there. My favs there are Dry Creek General Store for sammiches, and F. Teldeschi at the top of the hill behind it (Dan Teldeschi comes to Atlanta a lot because he’s a big Nascar fan…Bill Wertzberger also makes his own wine). Passalacqua across the street has some good juice and nice views. Also, up the road about a mile- maybe less- there’s a collection of wineries: Papapietro Perry, Amphora, Peterson, and Kokomo (who I think I got to start shipping to GA!). Anyway, have a great time. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t envious…
Moved to SoCo (Sonoma County) 3 years ago and love it! Do not miss the following spots on your tour: Bella Winery (chic boutique) and Alexander Valley Vineyards (gorgeous views and still — rare these days — family owned). Cheers!
If you’re going to Gundlach-Bundschu, try to stop by and see Dave Homewood at Homewood Wine, pretty close to there: http://www.homewoodwinery.com/
Okay, I’m done!
