Last night’s Pour + Explore was a Bordeaux lover’s dream! 🍷✨ @sonomacountyvintners first themed tasting of the year was hosted at Rodney Strong Vineyards with @SawyerSomm. 30+ local vintners poured their best Cabs (Franc & Sauvignon) and Bordeaux blends. Killer wines, DJ vibes, and electric energy made for an unforgettable night.
Next up? The prince of reds—Pinot Noir! Stay tuned for 2025 dates and the next host venue. What better way to sip and chat with the winemakers behind the magic? 🍇🔥

Lazy Sunday with a flight of 5 gorgeous, lithe, bright and aromatic white wines from the Anderson Valley, from some of my favorite winemakers and friends. @maisonhealdsburg
Get to Maison here in Healdsburg to pre-game the International White Wine Festival or Head to Boonville/Anderson Valley next weekend (15-16 February) for an abundance of shining white wines from Anderson Valley and the world.
White grapes and wines are the foundation of Anderson Valley (Pinot Noir fame came later). “Alsatian” whites, like Riesling and Gewürztraminer were the first planted and commercially produced in the valley in the late 1960s.
