Heading out to Napa Valley/Russian River Valley for just shy of a week. V Sattui and Sunce are only two wineries that are a definite at the moment (been subscribers for years). Any other recommendations? Looking for both quality wine and a beautiful location. TIA

We were there last weekend and went to Palmaz, great wine, amazing food pairing, and an impressive 10 story production facility built into the mountain. Fleury in St. Helena is amazing, big cabs with a laid back unpretentious vibe. Quixote in Stags Leap - full bodied reds and a quirky Spanish architecture inspired tasting room.

Del Dotto (Flagship location - there’s a few) is outstanding and has a 1.5 hour cave tour/tasting from the barrel that is amazing! Dearden (Sleeping Giant Vineyards) and Malk are fantastic options if you are serious about wine. You can’t buy their wine in store, it’s private and wine club only. Malk is in the Stags Leap district - their cabs are to die for. The tasting at Malk is individual and the scenery is gorgeous. Sleeping Giant just opened a new tasting room, I haven’t had a chance to visit yet! They both require a reservation.

Round Pond has a great outdoor pavilion - good appetizers and wine! Pretty view here too.

I go to Healdsburg all the time if you want to DM me. Couple ideas, Reeve, Gary Farrell, Ridge Lytton Springs, Porter Creek, Marin Layer (Tasting Room), Preston, Bella (Wine cave tasting and nice picnic spot). Sandwiches from Troubadour, Valette, Rooftop at Matheson, Barn Diva, Bravas.

Second for Bella! Caves are lovely. Get some late harvest Zin dessert wine on your way out.

Following. I’ll be in Napa next weekend. All the recommendations welcomed.

Scribe has great wine and amazing views from the Hacienda.

+1 for Scribe.

If you are willing to drive a bit, I highly recommend Macrostie. Fabulous views.

I would pop up to Dry Creek to visit a few wineries. Two of my favorites in the area are Dry Creek Vineyards (solid zins) and Unti (which is one of the few places in the area that does a lot of Italian varietals). I really enjoyed them both because they were a bit lower key and I could actually have a conversation about the wine (which is quite good). Both of these places also have some solid wines at more reasonable price points which I appreciate.

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.
