The vineyard is a little unkempt. The workers are living on the site. During harvest they put temp workers on sites too. Most tastings don’t provide snacks.
Rose detects the disease ahead of the grape vines.

We didn’t do tasting here but purchased picnic lunch. The shop has wide selection of goodies. This candle holder must made from barrel?

We were running 10 minutes late. We called ahead. It’s a Wednesday in late September. Our appointment was at 11 am. Yet, when we walked in at 11:16, the older woman, who was entertaining two ladies without appointment (we later found out), said to our face:
“I canceled you.”
How lovely.
A younger woman, Kate or Cate, came out of the office and took us. Better off for us. We had picnic there afterward.
It has two lines of wines: Estate and Single vineyard (very limited production). We bought their 2013 Valdiguie (Estate) to dinner.
Sonoma is grider than Napa but its vineyards are just as charming. Their town square is very nice, so is their town square – Sonoma Square. All the clothing shops there look old, not antique but out of date, ugly.

A pretty charming, down to earth restaurant by the charming town square. (Across street from El Dorado Kitchen) Service and food are good. My duck leg was soft but too sweet for my taste.
The corkage fee is only $18. We’ve the Rochioli’s 2013 Valdiguie. My review on trip advisor.
One of two AirBnBs we stayed during week long trip, on the water. It’s northeast of San Francisco, south of Napa.
The town looks working class.
