Things to Do: WINERIES

We've poached our dear friend's "can't-go-wrong" list of in-the-area wineries...and her commentary too! Since "swirling and sipping" is part of the general weekend plan, we encourage you to check these places out. And, if you have a personal favorite (or two or three) let us know the details in a "comment" below and we'll update the list.

rochioli winery (http://www.rochioliwinery.com/)
we had the best chardonnay of our lives here. great pinot noir, too. bring a little picnic + sit out front with a bottle of chilled chard over-looking their vineyards and petting their sweet buddha cat whose name i'm forgetting.

de la montoya (
http://www.dlmwine.com/)
we're members here because they're so cool + down to earth, and they've got a very fun back area with bocce. their summer white is crisp, cool + perfect for sipping on a hot day.

lambert bridge (

best wine (esp. food wine), best tasting room, best picnic grounds. gus the dog has special sniffing talents.
