Fantastic time in the area. Not nearly enough time, but after 3 days of tasting, we were worn out. This is where we went...

Peju
Silver Oak
Silverado
Sterling
Biale
Cliff Lede
Salvestri
MerryVale
V Satori
Robert Sinskey
Del Dotto
Rombauer
Trefethen

We never did make it to the castle, even though it was on our list.

I also found a few bottles of Pliny the Elder from Russian River Brewing. I do not get the appeal. I know of at least 3 Pales/IPAs I would put in front of it.
