Mikey and Gina are great people, happy to see they are in TX now. Getting big time!

Wife and I are heading to Sonoma next month.

Can you guys provide some good spots do do tastings / check out? Also, food recs are welcome. We know Yountville and are looking to do more on the Sonoma side.

Like, the city of Sonoma? Don’t do many tastings in the area but Valley Bar + Bottle and Girl and the Fig on the square are great restaurants.

We are staying in Sonoma. We don’t mind going over to Napa Valley, but wanted to try other areas. Russian River, etc.

Mainly just stuff on that side.

I’m looking for a bottle of Bordeaux.  Comtesse de Malet Roquefort. 2020 vintage. Any suggestions?

Just got back from Sonoma. Thank you for the El Molino. Damn good tacos.

We also hit Regis Ova for champagne and caviar. It’s a Thomas Keller spot. It was damn good - if you like caviar.

Ended up joining a new wine club - Square Peg.

[VABuckeye 2,472]

I love Gott's.

[Goofyboy 3,269]

I love Gott's.

Same. The champagne and caviar was the appetizer… Gotts was dinner!

[HenryJames 66,038]

Gott's slaps.

Square Peg.

Was at a corporate retreat at Skywalker Ranch recently. Fucking gorgeous setting, and they fed us well. Snagged a bottle from them (actually imported from their property in Provence). Good, not great. Novelty is 10/10.

We toured Verduno our last trip to Italy.  Great stuff and an amazing cellar.  Three of us brought back a magnum each of the 1999 Barolo amoung others.

Lapierre, imo.
