    Oh what a great time we always have at Three Fat Guys which is located down the road from Sonoma Square, just far enough that you don't get the busy traffic. They have the best wines at a great price point. There's so much to say: love the outdoor setting with high top tables, regular tables, and plenty of couches for lounging. There's a nice small garden to meander through with cornhole and a large connect 4 for those that come with kids. YES, kid friendly, pet friendly as we've come on a couple of occasions with both our dog and cat. They allow outside food, with a small store right next door to pick up food to have with your wine. I primarily stick to whites so my top favorites are their Sauvignon Blanc (2022 & 2023 are fabulous) & Chardonnay. Finally, being Three Fat Guys, we love coming during football season as they have a large TV on the back patio where we can enjoy the games and a good rivalry conversation; Go Niners!!!

    Three Fat Guys, how about three great wines? Located along Broadway, otherwise known as the main artery that leads visitors to the venerable Sonoma Plaza, Three Fat Guys Wines comes from the minds of three retired NFL offensive linemen by the names of Tony Moll, Daryn Colledge, and Jason Spitz. They met almost twenty years ago when they were all drafted by the Green Bay Packers. Their first vintage for their winery arrived a mere year later in 2007 as these three entrepreneurs were smart enough to start thinking about their future careers once their playing days stopped. It was Sonoma native Tony Moll who was able to turn his connections and contract with existing vineyards for their grapes and assemble a team of locals to help with production. Now with a small, yet surprisingly expansive tasting room that opened six years ago next to the Sonoma Roadside Shops, and across the street from vineyards that grow their estate Chardonnay, Three Fat Guys is place to be on game day and any other day, as they are pouring some really nice wines in the heart of Sonoma's wine country. What brought a friend and I here on an early weekend afternoon was the fact that Three Fat Guys Wines was participating in Sonoma Sips, which was a month-long promotion of participating wineries in the Sonoma area, which offered three pours of their signature wines for only fifteen dollars. This way visitors get a chance to enjoy a few pours of wine at a reasonable price served at a winery in which they may never have visited in the first place. Upon entry in their tasting room, visitors can sit inside their small tasting room or outside on their covered, at least during the colder season, patio where there are outdoor sofas with cushions and pillows and hightop and regular tables for visitors to sit on. Plenty of outdoor games are ready for visitors including children and pets to enjoy. Our first pour was their chilled 2023 Sonoma Valley Rosé of Pinot Noir. Called their poolside wine and sourced from vines grown not too far away from where their tasting room resides. We learned that their grapes for this wine are pulled earlier than they would be usually harvested, which gives this Rosé a stronger acidity and therefore a crisper finish. For our second wine, we both enjoyed perhaps our favorite wine out of the three we sampled, as their 2021 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. Grown directly across from here on Broadway in what used to be a pear orchard, now called Palmer Vineyard, this is a great year round Chardonnay, as it is not your typical buttery or oaky Chardonnay that we are all used to. Thanks to bright notes of citrus and green apples they smartly call this bright white wine a "coastal gem". For our third and final pour of our special tasting, we enjoyed their 2021 Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which was the sole wine we enjoyed that was not on their traditional tasting experience menu. We were told that they suggest that wine lovers buy this Cabernet now, and hold onto it as it ages better with time. With strong leathery notes, it was the perfect way to end our brief tasting as we headed inside and they were nice enough to pour us a fourth wine as my friend saw they sold a sparkling wine. Their Champion Sparkling Brut Rosé was a lively pour of bubbles and bursting with a combination of flavors of bright wild strawberries and tart cranberries with every sip. Three Fat Guys Wines is almost like a community watering hole or tavern, as locals and out-of-towners come in and sip and watch their favorite sporting events on their big screen flat panel television. Members of the community come first, as first responders, members of the military, and teachers all get a discount when visiting, as Three Fat Guys Winery strives to have something for everyone, especially really nicely crafted wines that they can be proud to call their own.

    A small venue with a beautiful patio. Such an amazing tasting experience! Ella was incredible - personable and informative! This was the best Cabernet Sauvignon we've had in Napa!

    Came for a drink, stayed for the vibes! Do yourself a favor and make this a stop on your list when you go to Sonoma.

    Birthday Celebration!

Located just steps from Sonoma Plaza, there is street parking all around, but we took the complimentary shuttle from our hotel which is very convenient for a day of sipping bubbles. SIGH does not take reservations (first come, first served) but we had no trouble snagging a prime spot at the bar on a Friday afternoon. Morgynne was our server and super knowledgeable, giving detailed descriptions of wines we tried, and was patient with us, taking our sweet time enjoying our glasses and documenting our visit. I had the Champagne Flight ($35) and the #YEShusband had the Rosé Flight ($25). The Champagne flight included pours of: Champagne G.H. Mumm Grand Cordon Brut, Champagne Monthuys Brut, and Champagne Château de Bligny Grande Réserve. The Rosé flight included pours of: Cuvée Françoise, Langlois Brut Rosé, and Lucien Albrecht Brut Rosé. We also ordered some additional post-flight glasses of the Schramsberg Mirabelle Blanc de Blancs and Lucien Albrecht Brut Rosé to cap off our time at SIGH. Everything about SIGH is top notch: from the selection of bubbles ranging from California noteables to European standouts, to the curated decor and vibes, this is a must stop when you're in Sonoma. Thank you to Morgynne and the whole SIGH team for a memorable visit-we will definitely be back!

Bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. Some really interesting art and furniture that celebrates champagne. There's a wall with a mosaic of bottle tops, and stools made from corks. Very creative and fits the vibe. I saw they have frozen champagne drinks in machines right in front which sounds delicious on a hot day, but we didn't try any this time

I don't play, but it seems like a fun option if you're into it. Since the winery had just opened when we arrived, it was still pretty empty and we easily found parking and an outdoor table to sit at. The back patio was gorgeous, especially on a sunny day with clear blue skies. It's spacious with plenty of seating and there was even enough room for the pup we brought with us to roam a bit. Our wine steward (unfortunately I don't recall his name right now) was super friendly, conversational, and helpful, and he made sure we stayed on schedule because we had somewhere to be afterward. We all did wine tasting and each wine was really good. We also ordered some bites - the olive oil was so good that a few of us bought bottles to take home. The fuller food options we saw at other tables also looked good. Overall, a great experience at Anaba and I look forward to returning for a future visit.

That energy truly set the tone for the night. There were two bartenders working as well, and they were just as personable and down-to-earth. Our glasses never went empty. While they don't have bar snacks yet, the sense of community was real, people around the bar were happily sharing Trader Joe's snacks, which honestly added to the charm. The vibe here was incredible. Between the friendly crowd, comfortable seating, and bright, inviting lighting, it felt easy to settle in and stay awhile. I'll definitely be back, mainly to see Mr. Bill, but also to sip on some Chris Bubbles.
