It’s only fitting that my first post is about this wonderful winery in Alexander Valley. The view of the vineyards and rolling hills is spectacular. The picnic area is lovely; the tasting room is quaint. And the people are just amazing.
You see, both my parents work here. Nepotism aside however, this spot is one you simply have to visit.
Field Stone produces some of the best wines in Sonoma, though you’d never know it from their modest price point. They make great wines in the tradition of Alexander Valley, like cab, merlot and chard. They make a snappy sauv blanc for hot afternoons, and a port-style fortified wine for cool evenings. But winemaker Pat Murray’s best work is on sangiovese, petit sirah and viognier. Inevitably I will talk about some of these in the future but for now, just believe me when I say every bottle is a homerun.
So book a trip to Healdsburg California and visit Field Stone Winery. Ask for Tom in the tasting room, and tell him his daughter sent you. You will not be disappointed.
