Some High-Scoring Wines from Sonoma County

  The Santa Rosa Press Democrat does weekly blind tastings of local wines. I know, work, work, work. They recently published an article of their favorites titled, "18 top-scoring Sonoma County Wines" written by their wine writer, Peg Melnik.

  In case there's a paywall, and you can't get through, I've listed the wines below. All credit goes to the Press Dem.


 
   I can't vouch for distribution to local stores near you. Prices are winery retail and all are under $38. The wines can often be found for less in stores, depending on where you are. You can always order from the winery or various online wine shops, if you live in a state where it's legal.
