Mercury Wine

We call this a mad scientist workshop! Small lots (90 to 200 case runs) of wine, using the best of locally grown fruit! From Albarino to Zin, winemaker Brad Beard is not afraid to have some fun, and your palate will approve! Drop by Geyserville and our winery dog Freddie will invite you in for a splash with us. Cheers!

We have been to Mercury several times and when we have friends and family visiting from out of state and we go wine tasting Mercury is number one on our wine tasting stops. Great family operation and Brad and Grady along with Freddie the dog makes a wine tasting trip to Geyersville a must stop.

Gustafson Family Vineyard

Unfortunately, as of January 2021, due to wildfire damages incurred to our property and the surrounding areas, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue operations as a winery. We are no longer accepting any reservations for tastings or visitors to the winery. If you are interested in our Estate home, please contact us directly for more information on the rental.

My friend and I just went to the Gustafson estate on Saturday to do the tour, tasting, and picnic lunch (with a glass of wine). For what we received, the $45 price was an amazing deal (especially compared to many Napa wineries that charge $45+ just for a tasting with little or no customer service). Steve was our tour guide, and he was phenomenal at that! He took us all over the property and thoroughly explained to us everything about how their grapes are grown and harvested and how their wine is processed and stored. He also would pour us wines to taste while we were at that block of grapes, and he encouraged us to try the grapes as well to compare them to the wine. He was extremely personable (as was his adorable pup that accompanied us!), and I admire how passionate he is, and how passionate the other staff and winemaker are, about their vineyard and their wines. It was so refreshing and enjoyable and not pretentious at all. Their wines are also delicious! Unlike the majority of the other wineries we visited in Napa and Sonoma (19 in total), there was not one single wine from Gustafson that I tried that I did not enjoy. The Zin was my favorite, and I took home a bottle of that. I also loved the Cab Franc, but that is only sold through the wine club, which I might join this year, because it was just that great of an experience. The picnic lunch was also amazing. I got the prosciutto and brie sandwich, and my friend got the caprese - both of which were great. And their chocolate cookies were divine! The view from the picnic area, and from the whole vineyard, is, as Steve put it, second to none. You sit there looking out over the mountains and Lake Sonoma, and it feels like you are on top of the world. The whole experience was top-notch. I would consider them to be the most "must-see" winery that we went to, and if I ever find myself in Northern California again, I will certainly be back! I also will probably be signing up for that wine club soon!

Beautiful grounds and great little tasting room. Staff was awesome and poured way more than what I was expecting. So much more that I gave up after the third tasting. Their rose was delicious and I can't wait to drink the bottle I bought. Would definitely return when the weather is more mild and lounge outside.

Foley Sonoma

Reservations Highly Recommended. Nestled on a gentle knoll shadowed by the nearby Mayacamas Mountains, the site of Stryker Sonoma Winery typifies the peaceful, serene beauty of the Alexander Valley in the world renowned Sonoma County, just eighty miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Our vision and creativity are inspired by the vineyards and countryside surrounding the Estate. Stryker Sonoma wines mix old-world tradition and modern technology to allow for gentler handling of both fruit and wine. Our winemaking philosophy is about pure varietal expression which produces award winning, balanced wines rich in fruit and deep in character. The Vineyards produce 4,000 to 6,000 cases annually from the following varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Sangiovese, Tannat, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, and Semillon. Guests visiting the winery today can watch the winemaking process in action, viewing barrels as they are racked in the aging cellar and step onto the observation deck to see how grapes enter the crush pad for sorting and de-stemming. In designing Stryker Sonoma with Nielsen Schuh Architects, Proprietor Pat Stryker was inspired to create buildings that are aesthetically beautiful, sensitive to the environment and in harmony with the landscape. The state of the art modern facility was specifically designed to create small lots of ultra-premium luxury wines from the Estate Vineyard. With the opening of the Tasting Room doors in 2002, the building won the Architectural Design Award for Northern California by AIA. Ever since, the Tasting Room has been open to the public daily 10:30 to 5:00 p.M. And is focused on extending a wine country experience that is truly "Quintessential Alexander Valley".

This was a new vineyard for us to visit. It is a member of the Foley Food and Wine Society. As members we received amazing service from Pedro. We had a cheese and wine paring and ate lunch in the tasting room. They are one of the few vineyards in Alexander Valley that have Tannat grapes. They also have a great Malbec, Cabernet, Zinfandel, and Syrah wines.

We had a very good wine tasting experience. Tasted five wines for a tasting fee of $15 each person. Currently, due to COVID, you need to make a reservation and seating is outside. The day we went was beautiful weather and the outside seating is lovely. We showed up without a reservation and were turned away but, just as we were getting into our car, the server ran out, waving her arms and yelling "A reservation was canceled so you can come in!" The server knew her wines and for that we were grateful since many winery staff just know how to pour but are not familiar with the wines. She was always prompt with each serving. If you purchase two bottles, the tasting fee is waived. There are discounts for buying 1/2 a case or more. We ended up buying eight wines.

4/5/2021 Our 50th Anniversary odyssey continued after extremely shoddy service at MICHEL- SCHLUMBERGER (see THAT Review) we stumbled upon SBRAGIA Family Vineyards. We were greeted by a animated young woman named Safria who told us that they were full and regrettably could not accommodate us. I was disgusted and ready to turn around and drive back to Healdsburg when my wife said - Oh we have had such a disappointing 50th anniversary day so far - briefly describing our last experience....without hesitation Safira said " Oh...how sad...how about I comp you on a a couple of glasses of "bubbly" to make up for your lousy day so far - just sit over there." She was back out in an instant - with the champagne - I then asked If we could just buy a bottle of wine and just stay there - she said "OF COURSE!' So we selected a wine and were having a pleasant time (FINALLY!) Various employees stopped by wishing us a Happy Anniversary. The Chef came out giving us a little bowl of popcorn, a special recipe that had lemon zest, we think rosemary - infused with the lovely Pinot-Noir Rose we were drinking. De- LISH@! I then asked if we could purchase a bottle of wine for our Italian Dinner that night as I noticed an unusual red blend of Italian varietals named "CARIGNANE" (also DELISH with dinner that night!) I can go on and on - but after about an hour or so of good wine - better customer service and just NICE interaction with employees of SBRAGIA Family Vineyards I asked for our check. Safira came out with the check only charging us for the wine we drank and GAVE us the $50 Bottle of"CARIGNANE" and two glasses as an Anniversary Gift from Sbragia and Staff ! You read that correctly - Safira and Sbragia Winery and Staff GAVE us the wine I wanted to buy. I cant say enough about this experience. We WE go back....YES! Often ---- We we recommend this lovely Winery to our friends and family YES! Did we tell everyone at our Lovely Bed & Breakfast (River Belle Inn) happy hour? You Bet In short This is a MUST stop on you Healdsburg wine weekend!
