“A most memorable tasting experience always: exceptional wines, a superbly knowledgeable team, and beautiful tasting room. Joseph Jewell Winery consistently over delivers and exceeds expectations by offering superior customer service, ethereal wines ranging from Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay to single vineyard Pinot Noirs that can age beautifully yet be delicious when young. Highest compliments to winemaker Adrian for his stellar hospitality, dedicated artistry, and resourcefulness in finding terrific grapes from a broad range of appellations. Grateful Cheers to Joseph Jewell Winery!“

“I discovered RYME at my favorite wine bars, Céleste in North Beach SF. We decided to visit RYME tasting room to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday (with dogs, babies, & sober company in tow). This was such a beautiful tasting venue, the staff was amazing, and the wine was fantastic. Everyone in our group was able to enjoy something including the N/A options. Would highly recommend - thank you RYME for a celebration to remember!“

“The finest wine tasting experience in all of Sonoma County. We were greeted by Camille, a charming and knowledgeable woman with family roots from both Russian River Valley and Dijon, France. We saw soil samples from the different properties and learned how that variable influenced the various single-clone Chardonnays produced at this world-class estate.“

“We simply cannot get enough Hartford!We had a large group in from NC and Pete took excellent care of us. The tasting is always fantastic, and the whole Hartford property is so beautiful. We’ve been members since 2017- and certainly one of our favorite wineries in Sonoma. ❤️“

“I met the owner and wine maker of Russian River Vineyards at the California Wine Festival in Huntington Beach and so we added his vineyard on to our agenda in Napa/ Sonoma.They have a wonderful selection of wines for tasting and purchasing and all their wines are made from grapes from small family owned and run farms. This place makes wine on behalf of the farms and so you will see a broad range of wines and many different vineyard names on the menu.We had a tasting flight the meat board and bought a couple of bottles of wine, it was really warm and relaxed on the patio.The team here is really welcoming and friendly. This place is very laid back and casual, no reservations needed, casual takeout style bites, and doggies welcome. If you are looking for something chilled this is good but not good for a fancier experience.Food & drinks: Food is takeout style (paper plates, cardboard etc)Noteworthy details: No appointments neededNo prepayment neededDog friendly“
