Being a first time patron I opted for the House Wine Flight and charcuterie, so that I could get a little taste of everything. The charcuterie had salami, duck breast, 2 cheeses, nuts, prosciutto and olives/peppers. I'd definitely order this again... a nice smokey duck breast with any glass of wine is fine by me! While I enjoyed each of the wines I tried (Sauvignon blanc, Rose, Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Syrah and Malbec), I don't know that any one style screamed out at me more than the next. The Sauvignon and Rose were probably the two more at the top for me. I look forward to not only checking out this cute town again, but also spending some time at Baldassari to see what else they have to offer!

Grand…read moreCru Custom Crush was designed to allow for independent wineries to partner their unique winemaking talent with world-class production technology to create some of the best wines Sonoma County has to offer. It also feels good to be supporting local winemakers with exceptional wines instead of corporations. Like almost all wineries and tasting rooms, it's very important to schedule your tasting in advance. We made an appointment in advance and did a wine tasting with Stringer Cellars. We sat down in their beautiful tasting room and were both blown away by all of their wines! They were all exceptional and we loved every one of the wines that we tried! On their website it says that their winemaking approach incorporates curiosity, grit, integrity, science, but most importantly the never ending pursuit of making great wine. We found that to be very true! It was an intimate experience to taste wines with the winemaker and it was a very educational experience as well. We loved learning about each of the wines, the wine making process, and the different wine regions where the grapes were grown. We were also able to tour the facility and it was an all around amazing experience! When you walk into Grand Cru there are wines showcased from the different wineries that provide wine tastings there so you can shop around and choose a bottle from a different winery if you would like to try out different wines as well. We absolutely loved this experience and will definitely be back!

I can still buy tickets for $200 a piece to go to a winery tasting room that no longer exists. Very tacky.

The owners are very knowledgeable and eager to impart their wisdom in a non-threatening and collegial manner that invites further discussion and questions and made for an equally interesting experience for wine knowledgeable and wine novice alike. A fun time was had by all and we will definitely be back again soon!

And the ambiance was inviting and good energy was in the room! There had to be 6 wineries there today and it was a good friendly environment for everyone!! I tried most of the wines and there are good wines being made everywhere I often say this and it's true! The Mad Marvus winery and Cidery was who I started with! And all of her juice is Organic and made with no SO2 which is a probiem because the no sulfur idea is not good and in general causes funky flavors all through the line up! And then I went over to ONWARD WINES - and these were very good and delicious on the whole then I took in a break outside in the heat but covered outside area. Then back inside to start again with SCHEMA WINES - it's her first release and she makes 2 wines, the first being an Aligote white wine much like the Aligote's of Burgundy France, as she described it like a cross between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and she also makes a very clean tasting Cab Franc. Nice Raspberry flavor juice. And then after that I went to TANSY WINERY, a nice but unknowlegable girl was working at the table she was sweet enough to get by the lack of knowledge and they were all Italian varietals and very good. Then I went to try the wines at the Grenachista which were overall delicious wines. Then another break and then I did the eponymous winery, the Two Sheperds Winery and most of what they're producing was great and delicious!! All in all I had a great time and experience talking to the winemakers and tasting through their wines!!

We had to wait for our table and sat at the bar in the meantime, but despite arriving earlier, we were seated after several people who came in after us.
