New Wine Finds

Our day off from our San Francisco tours resulted in a couple new wine finds in the Russian River. Trying new wineries is definitely one of the fun things to do in San Francisco. In addition to finding some great new wines, we're seeing an exciting trend among wineries to grow using organic and substantial methods. If you have taken our San Francisco food tours, you might know that we always excited when we see more people embracing the idea of eating locally and seasonally. When you are out buying wines, check out labels for California wines. A number of the wineries are indicating on the labels about their enlightened growing methods.

Checking out the Wineries

When were not doing our San Francisco tours, we're off checking out wineries. One of the fun things to do in San Francisco, in addition our San Francisco Food Tours, is to head off the wine country. Now days, in addition to Sonoma and Napa, check out the Santa Cruz mountains for some excellent Petite Sirrahs and the Sierra Foothills are producing some really good ZInfandels. Our trick is go into wineries we don't recognize. Those are frequently the wineries that are producing excellent wines, just not enough to sell outside the wineries. If you find a new winery find, let us know and we'll let people know about it on our San Francisco Food Tours.
