Porter-Bass Vineyard and Winery, Guerneville

One of our favorites on our 3-day trip of great wine. Sue the owner is amazing - knowledgeable and as genuine as they come. Great example of Sonoma (vs Napa) - nothing fancy, unassuming, just good wine in a picturesque hillside setting well off the beaten path.

A small detour off the Gravenstein Highway, this small winery is unassuming. If you'd like to take a pause under the shade of an old walnut tree, Sue, the winery owner, will pour you a flight of chardonnay, pinot, grenache and zinfandel. We actually *walked* there from the highway, and felt like the wine tasting was our reward for 45 minutes of light exercise.
