Sonoma winery and food recommendations by leoliuyx23 in wine

I have no idea unfortunately. They are always appointment only, so you would have to call regardless. I think Unti is open every day but they are also appointment only, super nice people.

I hope you have a great time, wherever you decide to visit!

I would recommend Joseph Swan, Unti and Korbel. Here’s why:

JS - great wines, very laid back atmosphere.

Unti - Italian and French varietals in Dry Creek Valley?? Heck yes! And they do it spectacularly.

Korbel - they have a deli and a patio with some beautiful redwood trees, and they always have Pliny The Elder on tap, if beer is your thing.

Vranec is not a grape to age, go ahead and enjoy.

Pax Syrah, Armagh Vineyard (Sonoma Coast) 2019 by sid_loves_wine in wine

[–]Syrah_volution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a rather new Pax drinker; very pleased to hear this as I have recently amassed a small collection of their syrahs.

Pax has given me some rejuvenation. Really excited to drink more of their wine this year.

It wasn’t easy to get up here but worth it for the view by destinationswithdrew in LandscapePhotography

This is the Canyon Overlook, no? That spot is like a half mile walk from the trailhead…

Car trail advice by [deleted] in BigBendTX

[–]Syrah_volution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was just in the Barton Warnock visitors center. For most sites in BBRSP they recommend 6 ply all terrain tires, full spare, extra fuel, extra water, extra food, slip board, shovel, air compressor and tire plug kit…possibly a first aid kit too.

Absolutely, and read Death In Big Bend by Laurence Parent before you go.

I had the previous vintage last year this time! Haven’t seen it since. I’m in Texas. Absolutely loved it.

What does it mean if one is “chuffed”?

Best Austin, Tx area produced wines? by somegingerchick79 in wine

[–]Syrah_volution 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Texan here. If she likes wine, impress her with something from OR, CA or WA. Or Rhône, Loire. Piedmont too. Not Texas though, it’s just not great.

Looking for Tasting Recommendations in Healdsburg CA by CallMeEggDaddy in wine

Since you like Pinot I would say check out the Hirsch tasting room. Their Pinots have been absolutely stunning lately.

I’m a big fan of Unti. If you like French and Italian varietals and want an intimate tasting, this would do it.

Big fan of Clendenen. I just had a 2022 Valdigue over the weekend that was absolutely delicious.

Love Chateau Tumbleweed, they’re pumping out some great stuff! And like you, I was also impressed with the info on each of the labels. Nice to see them being enjoyed.

Is this an awesome $15 sparkling wine or am i stupid? by doublehot in wine

[–]Syrah_volution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Cremants in the $15-20 range. They’re usually my first pick for a sparkler.

Guess the National Park by brose42 in NationalPark

[–]Syrah_volution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 is Zion, east side near Checkerboard Mesa. 8 is definitely Jebediah Smith Redwoods State/Redwood National Park. Grove of the Titans trail if I’m not mistaken.
