Went wine-tasting in southern Santa Clara County (Gilroy-ish) area. There are around a dozen nice little wineries.
More details later... we hit 4 wineries. At this point y'all will have to be satisfied with:
Solis: Nice sangiovese. Nice chardonnay.
Sarah's Vineyard: Cat in the rafters. Good zin. Good Pinot noir.
Kirigillin (sp?): It's a hobbit-hole. I'm not kidding. Generally nice. Sparkling wine not so great. Port with orange, coffee and chocolate flavor is amazingly better than it sounds.
Clos la Chance: Big snooty Napa-style winery without the snootiness. Amazing Muscat. Good dry rosé. Excellent ambience.
Had a great time running between wineries with
lobolance and Rob and Valerie (who we met at Solis and ended up hauling along with).
