Tucked away in quiet Pope Valley, this 1897 gem has the kind of history that actually matters, like the time it bootlegged wine to Chicago speakeasies during Prohibition. You get old-vine Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, a historic 1909 cellar to poke around in, friendly vibes, and prices that won't make you wince.
