Here are the highlights:
1. Landmark Vineyards. Amazing hospitality, gorgeous grounds, and some Syrah!
2. Joseph Swan. Harvest was well underway as we approached the tasting room. We enjoyed speaking with Karen and becoming the 8th in line for a spot on their wine club.
3. Healdsburg. We enjoyed a tasty lunch at the Healdsburg Bar and Grill and loved the quaintness of this wine country getaway.
4. Unti. Seemingly off the beaten path of dry creek valley these were the best wines of our visit. I particularly enjoyed the brandy fortified Grenache!
5. Pavo. Anytime you get to spend an hour with a winemaker in a custom crush facility and get to talk fermentation strategies while tasting small lot single vineyard syrah… You are having a great day. Jordan is up to good things.
