Any recommendations for sonoma and napa valley? Wife and I will be there for 5 days next week. Besides Cabernets, we like barolos, barbarescos, chateauneuf du pape, pinots and aussie shiraz. I like smaller vineyards but wifey will appreciate a few of the big houses and the grandeur. TIA. Also any recommendations for trips? I typically drive and then we share tastings but we may do a tour if it’s worth it.

Sounds like an exciting trip for you and your wife!

Napa:
If your wife likes grandeur then go to Darioush. It is a sight to behold. They have wonderful wines but the winery and tasting area is amazing on its own.

Hall Wines is also impressive and has exceptional cabs.

Piazza del Dotto is a great spot for grandeur.

If you like cabs, you may want to check out wineries on Pritchard Hill. They are pricey but produce phenomenal wines. The views from there are also amazing. You will have to call ahead.

Sonoma:
For smaller wineries I would check out Lasseter (Sonoma), A. Rafanelli (Dry Creek), Scribe (Sonoma) and in downtown Sonoma there are lots of little tasting rooms tucked away. My wife and I found a lot of great places just by exploring the downtown area.

Something to keep in mind is that Napa tends to be less laid back then Sonoma. But both are very interesting and fun to visit.

Have a great trip!

I'm looking for wine recommendations as a bourbon drinker. I'm a regular to barrel proof bourbons (120+ proof) and did a few red wines tonight but was expecting more. I'm hoping to find a red that is more full tasting or has a more pronounced finish.

Dry. Acidic nose. But for $10 this wine is amazing. Where else can you find a ‘14 vintage for that cost. I Get nectarine hints maybe plum. Very little body. Mild tannin; I wouldn’t mind putting out for guests. If you’re going for something dry, acidic, in the red department, can’t complain. I picked this one up from Trader Joe’s. Hope you find this helpful!

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
