2006 WineBoard Excursion Ideas

[Jackie]

I am sure I could arrange a tour of Gary Farrell's new winery in the Russian River Valley near Healdsburg (Sonoma County). All of his wines -- Cab, Chardonnay, Zin, -- are wonderful but the Pinot Noir is second to none IMHO. Anyway, Gary is a personal friend so I am partial but I think most members of the WineBoard will agree.

Very nearby are Rochioli Vineyards, where the best Pinot Noir grapes in California are grown, and Limerick Lane Cellars with outstanding Zinfandel (& more).

What do you all think? What other favorite wineries do you want to visit, if we meet in or around the SF Bay area?
