These wines are gorgeous! You can taste from 3 labels, and all are so good. The Pinot noir and Cabernet in my tasting were both standouts. I would have bought bottles of both, but opted for the Pinot this time due to cost. The wines are worth it, but I didn't have that discretionary spending this time.

Opening up around 10 am, they recommend reservations but walk-ins are welcome as they have a pretty large tasting room with multiple lounge seating arrangements. Jose was very accommodating when choosing the tastings, knowledgeable in the wines he poured, the estate/company, and prepared a beautiful plated charcuterie board that was delicious (see photo). Highly recommend checking out Pangloss when you come to the town of Sonoma- Cheers!

What a beautiful and serene winery! The thing that I've commonly needed about Sonoma wineries if…read morethat they're more down to earth than Napa wineries but the wine is just as good! The friend that took us here mentioned how she likes that you never feel rushed. I see why people purchase wine club memberships now. As a Pendulum wine club member she gets wine pick ups, discounts, and unlimited tastings with three guests. The setting is beautiful! So many flowers. Nicely shaded picnic benches with umbrellas. They have a large fish pond and it's 25 cents for a cup of fish food to feed the turtles and koi. This is one of the most family friendly wineries I've seen. Many people bring their kids. They have corn holes too. Fancy and Pudding were the highlight! I reached out and felt like a Disney princess having one of them come to me for pets. The restrooms were very clean as well! It was fun browsing the store too. And of course the tasting and charcuterie board were a fantastic experience. I loved the cheeses and almonds they had. We had the option of deviating from the tasting menu. But everything we tasted was great! I think you can also bring your own snacks. It's a great winery experience. Nothing for praise for Cline Cellars. The day we went it looks like they were setting up a wedding later in the day. But that didn't negatively impact our experience at all.

Our most recent visit was on a rainy day, but with their patio set-up, we were still able to sit outside which was really nice for us coming from constantly cold Chicago. Everyone who works here is incredibly passionate about the story behind the wine, as well as the wine. I loved talking to the staff about the different wines and being able to hear fun facts. There's a ton of different seating outside- the inside is pretty small, but don't let that fool you. there is plenty of space for everyone here. While we opted for the tasting, as we haven't been here in several years, if you're looking to just get a glass- do yourself a favor and try the chardonnay.

You feel the warmth when you walk in. Carlo was a very kind and charming tasting room manager. He knows the wines, grapes and regions very well and captivates you with each story of the bottle he is pouring. He even explains the glassware. There are 3 different wine flights to try and you can taste by the class. The bar can also accommodate a flight that suits your preference. I was looking for an all red flight, and Carlo happily created one for me that I would for sure enjoy. For Designated Drivers, there are two non-alcoholic sparkling wines from Italy to try so no one feels left out. The tasting menu has light bites to complement the wines such as a charcuterie board, cheese plates, and chips. Carlo lets you know what goes well with the wine you're having. And for after tasting, a variety of coffees. The wines I tried were all delicious. I purchased 3 bottles. (Note: You can ask for a "dump bucket" but you don't need one because the wines are very good.) 1. Old Vine Rosé - So good and very popular that they have it on tap! 2. Whole Hog - A delicious Rhône! 3. Eleve Cabernet - drinks like a Bordeaux. When in Downtown Sonoma, please stop by and give them a try. It's a nice break from shopping or a good place to sit and chat with friends for the afternoon.

A friend in the industry recommended this place and made our reservation. We were ten min late due to parking/finding the place. The home is in good condition and quite nice inside. Our journey was just through the home, as our tasting was outside. The courtyard style backyard is really nice. Many plants and a few distinct seating areas. There is a bathroom out there and it's super clean and well decorated. The tasting was spectacular. We ordered bottles to be shipped home. We enjoyed the cheese/nut/cracker pairing they included. The tasting was not rushed and we enjoyed sitting in their garden. It was just me and my husband which was nice. It was the first tasting of the trip and it was no pressure, all questions allowed, relaxed and wonderful. I would recommend this experience. I would like to know more about the historic home. We did not become members because it was the first tasting of our week and we didn't know what we were in for. But I'm glad we ordered bottles to be shipped to our home so we can enjoy their wine again and again. We ordered the Chardonnay and three of their Pinot noirs, in various quantities. Thank you for hosting us, Nick.

Some street parking available, but also off the main drag in Sonoma, so it's very walkable from wherever you find parking. We chose to hangout on the patio, so we didn't really see inside.

They have a few beers and plenty of wine available to sample! We tried a few of their brews during our visit! They were refreshing and crisp. Nothing to blow you out of the water, but a great alternative to all the wine throughout Sonoma.
