“Phenomenal wine bar. Fun for all wine nerds. Burgundy city with old wines, everything ready to pop. Finished the night with insanely good sake, had a gorgeous sancerre. Next time I'm going burg or going home. Ha. Thank you Evan. So nice to meet you. I'll see you often buddy.“
“Portalupi offers a number of wines that diverge from most of what you'll find at the majority of wineries in northern Sonoma County. Starting with a Barbera-based sparkler (a little drier, please). After wading through a couple of decent dry whites (Arneis, Vermentino), and skipping some of the lighter reds, we moved on to some of the bolder offerings: Barbera, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo-- all winners. Dolinsek Pinot was a nice surprise; a departure from the rest of the (Italian) lineup. The host of our group of six was friendly, informative and engaging, with just the right balance between taking us through the flight and giving us space to socialize among ourselves and discuss the wines“
“Awesome wine, awesome music, awesome service. What more can you ask for? We stumbled here last Saturday night after eating dinner next door. Heard the live music from the street which drew our attention into this establishment. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the wine (Pinot and Sparkling) was. I'll need to look into this winery a little more as there's some serious winemaking going on. We'll be back!!“
“Sleeper hit in Sonoma, seriously go/drink/buy! I often worry about wines not hitting the same way once home, and nope, the Trousseau was even more mind bogglingly delicious than I remembered. I brought the Cab Sav to a Nor Cal focused wine tasting and it was the crowd favorite of the night.“
“Ok if the wines are extraordinary, Rob is even more! Charismatic and so easy to understand through his presentation. Came here with our son and daughter in law as their first visit to Sonoma and they loved it! The Pinots are amazing and the Chardonnay is outstanding ?. Hope you visit them!“
“Visiting from Boston and came to Sonoma for the day. We came to Bacchus landing. Montagne Russe is the best winery we’ve been to. Kevin Bersofsky is the wine maker and makes the best wine. If you like white, if you like red, come to this place. You’ll learn a lot, drink phenomenal wine, and leave in a better mood than you came in with. Love this place!!“
“My wife had members of her family come in from the east coast last month and they wanted to visit with us as well as taste some interesting wines in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. I have noticed Alpha Omega's tasting room opening just off the square and decided we should duck in to see if it would meet our needs. It did and was wonderful. Service was top notch. Samantha catered to our needs and informed us of what was in our glass while leaving room for us to visit and enjoy everything. My family grows a few acres of Grenache here in Sonoma county and I was pleased to taste Alpha Omega's Grenache. I purchased a bottle and will share it at my family's next get together. A great place to make some wonderful memories.“
“Loved a unplanned stop here have purchased Siduri at home in Oregon & noticed the Willamette Valley connection. Their 1000 mile Pinot Noir tasting is fantastic ~ start with their Oregon vineyards & end with their Santa Barbara vineyards. They also have a Pinot blend tasting. Thanks to Tonya, lots of knowledge, information & opinion ~ all added to a nice visit & excellent wine. For having only Pinot Noir, the differences in side by side tasting is fantastic.“
“We had a great time and great food at Baci Cafe and Wine bar. The menu is extensive so we had a hard time narrowing down our choices. However, we picked this place because of the sheer amount of choice as I didn't know what we would be in the mood for when I made the reservation several weeks in advance. I had the veal osso bucco and it was outstanding. My husband had the short ribs and they were also very good; but I think the osso bucco was better. Both were served with a creamy polenta that was really good. My husband is not a fan of polenta, he prefers mashed potatoes, but even he was impressed with this polenta. Our waitress was great, very friendly and good at helping us narrow in on our dinner choices.“
