    Service w a smile!!  thanks Kylie!!...fab pinot.....
    Doug U.

    My friend from L.A. was up for my 65th bday and we had some time to kill before dinner....so we strolled around Healdsburg square....and a block off the square was this tasting room that we couldn't see into 'cuz of the tinted windows but luckily staff came out and invited us in....great marketing move!!...it was the first weekend of barrel tasting and soooo many big named tasting rooms were packed w peeps....i love the smaller rooms as they normally have smaller production and pay more attention to detail....as is the case w Cartograph.... To start with the winemaker is from Minnesota, which is where i'm from and so they get plus points for that!!! ya shur ya betcha....ok, so let's start with their riesling....ach du liebe!! wonderful nose, floral, minerality, and bone dry....fabulous!!....next up the gewurz...big n fruity...you might almost say sweet but its really just the nose....great mid-palate and a dry finish...most excellent with the pad thai that we had later that evening!!! my fave was the 2014 Perli Vineyard Pinot....mmmm....some old world nose but not overpowering...spicy light pepper, dark cherry notes...unique and is totally drinkable by itself but would lend itself so nicely to the bbq pork tenderloin i made the other nite.... they are small production and so prices are reasonable for premium wine...do yourself a favor and try/buy Cartograph wines....you'll thank me for it!!

    Our favorite downtown tasting room :)

    Cartograph will forever be my favorite go to for amazing pinots in Healdsburg. Being that it is primarily Zin/ bigger wine land in the area these guys definitely stand out. Their pinots are always delicate/ beautiful, with the only bad thing I can say about them being, with that they can get pricey! Recently was there for a private tasting for a girlfriends birthday and they were as always a pleasure. Alan the wine maker is so knowledgeable and was happy to answer the groups questions. Highly recommend calling and booking their back room for large groups etc!

    Hoppin' new wine spot right off the square.

    Our favorite kind of wines are the ones made by hard working, down to earth friendly owners. Of course, the wines have to be good. At Cartograph you get all that. Alan & Serena are in the tasting room often and are always happy to talk about their single vineyard Pinot Noirs along with their Gewurtztraminer and rosé. There's an up and coming batch of winemakers who are leading California's new generation-- these guys are part of that movement. As if that wasn't enough to like, their location right off the square makes visiting easy. Hope you like it as well.

    I first met Alan, the Winemaker/co-owner, shortly after he moved from MN to SF to pursue his dream of winemaking. We've stayed in touch ever since, and I've selected his wines for several of my wine club shipments. So to see the success of this fellow entrepreneur is inspiring. They've just taken a big step up with their sleek new tasting room. Ask about the private table in the back, suitable for groups up to 10, from the looks of it. Or take your tasting as you sit looking out the front window and watch the fashionista tourists mix with the local grapegrowers. Or sink into one of the modern couches and taste there. Of course you can always just belly up to the bar, like at any other tasting room. But why be in such a hurry? And the wines. Single-vineyard pinots are the headliners here, as well as a surprisingly crisp rose of pinot noir. The Gewurz is well worthy of note, and fans of the grape will be impressed. Given that only 4% of wine sold in America is over $20, these wines are pricey by comparison, but well within the price range for today's pinots. Stylistically, Alan and Serena prefer that the wine express its place of origin, letting the fruit take the lead with oak in the supporting role as the spice cabinet.

We chose to drop in Marine Layer Wines. The tasting room is located in a very nice area in beautiful downtown Healdsburg across Healdsburg square. Parking is accessible all around the street and Healdsburg square. The modern decor was beautiful and bright. There were plenty of tables and couches to accommodate all different size parties. The vibe was inviting and family friendly. There was a cozy fireplace in the front as well. We ordered a glass of Lyra Pinot Noir and a glass of Aries Chardonnay. My Pinot Noir was smooth while the wifey's Chardonnay was crisp and refreshing. The wine was great quality. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Marine Layer Wines. The staff was nice and helpful.

It can't be that hard to open a winery, right? Wait...how do you make wine? I guess it's not all that easy. However, the folks down at MoniClaire made it look effortless. And given their expansive property with breathtaking views of the Sonoma Valley, luxurious infinity pool and adorable wine tasting room I'm sure they are perfectly content with their decision to have opened a winery. This was our last stop on the Platypus tour and was also the most beautiful. Words really don't do the property justice, but the views were by far some of the best I've ever seen. The owner spent nearly an hour with us. We started in the tasting room where we had a few pours and tastes of cheese. We were then escorted through the property and over to his personal home and deck where we were able to snap photos overlooking the beautiful views of the wine region. The owner told us stories about the vineyard and we learned about how he quit a job in Silicon Valley to pursue his dream and named the vineyard after his two daughters. Our stop at MoniClaire was the perfect ending to our day of Sonoma wine touring and left me wondering one thing. Can I move in?

Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate in what he does. You do have to make a reservation ahead of time though for tastings. But it's definitely worth it! That one-on-one attention and interaction is priceless. The barrel room in the back was so cool. I love all the cute chalk drawings on the barrels. Mark walked us through the process of wine making and we even got the chance to try some from the barrel! Mark's co-owner, his brother James, lives in Denver-just a short drive from Colorado Springs, where I live! Honestly, I don't remember which wines I liked best because I liked all of them. But we ended up getting a bottle and have been saving it for a special occasion until we get the chance to go back. Definitely looking forward to returning soon!

Mark greeted us by the door of the tasting room/production facility which is just off the square. He spent time walking through the winery's history and how he and is brother run the business. By the end of the tasting we had talked about wine, food, music, documentaries, and much more. Mark made it feel like we were all siting around the kitchen table just talking about wine and life. I liked this setting (one group at a time with 100% participation) much more enjoyable than most other wineries we visited which have more of a bar/restaurant feeling where the server would just pour your tasting, give you the one sentence blurb they learned about it and then disappearing to help other tables for 10-15 minutes until it was time for your next pour. We started the tasting with their "White Wine" and Viognier. We then moved on to the reds including Pinot, Zin, Merlot, Malbec and Cab. They were all very well made and quite tasty. Ended up purchasing 3 bottles to go and a membership to be shipped later in the year. I'd definitely recommend others putting Blanchard on their list of places to visit in Healdsburg. Appointments are needed as Mark only does one group's tasting at a time.
