Well we're going out again the end of April, and we're starting to plan. We'll be there for 2 1/2 days before we head out to Sacramento area for the son in law's graduation from the police academy there. We've been to most of the wineries in Sonoma county over the years, and we're definitely stopping in again at David Coffaro and Deerfield Ranch (perennial visits), and I'd like to visit Siduri. What we'd like to do is find some new wineries - ones that aren't usually open to the public or are just a super place to stop. We came up with a list of potentials and we'd like to know if anyone has any experience with them. Here's the list - Dutton-Goldfield, Eric Ross, Wattle Creek, Lancaster, Stryker, Imagery and Collier Falls. We're also looking for someplace new for dinner. Been to Zin, Ravenous, John Ash and a few others. Thoughts anyone?

If you're interested I can probably get you into Dehlinger. In the same area is Joeseph Swan and down the line is Rabbit Ridge. MIchael Bilger was turning out some tasty stuff last spring at The Lodge at Sonoma. Didn't make it out last fall as I'm having what few mailing list wines I still want sent to a friends warehouse in Santa Fe Springs. Let me know.

Well, we're modifying the trip somewhat. Found out the Rhone Rangers are going to be at Ft. Mason on the 26th, so we're going to give that a try. Anyone else going?
