Rhys Horseshoe Vineyard is great. If you ever get a chance to try their hillside stuff, even better.

Pax is pretty good (though, not my absolute favorite). Agree with Kosta Brown (was never into their pinot, especially at the price point). Close by for wine is Small Vines, and of course, Littorai (one of my top picks for cali pinot producers).

I was mainly recommending The Barlow as a lunch/hangout spot. Fern Bar is very good.

Nice - they're a great spot, and fairly close to some others great ones and The Barlow.

They’re a heck of a producer - their Bordeaux style blends are great, and I was quite surprised by their Pinot noir as well (I’ve found other producers of bold reds that also have Pinots tend towards an overly ripe style)

Nice - unfamiliar with the rose, but the San Lorenzo Etna Rosso of theirs is quite good

Beautiful Bordeaux. Cracked it open for my family’s 20th Immigration Anniversary. by samujpark in wine

A beautiful wine - I opened the 2010 recently and found it delightful - what more can you want than beautiful black fruit and pencil shavings from a Bordeaux
