A husband-and-wife team south of Calistoga has been crafting Pinot Noir since 2002, and now they're also doing Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma and Napa with winemaker Thomas Brown leading the charge. Their new tasting room sits on what used to be an organic farm, so you know the vibes are good.
