Taste in the Heart of Healdsburg

My Rhône-centric philosophy is the essence of each wine I produce: Rhône varietals, blends, sparkling, and single-vineyard Zinfandels.

So, what is this Rhône-centric philosophy, that I speak of? It starts with my true passion for wines that come from both the Northern and Southern Rhône Valley, and other parts of the South of France.

It’s rooted in my curiosity and understanding a terroir’s minerality and what it gives the wine. It’s immersing myself into the viticulture of each appellation and my winemaking practices.

It’s the culmination of the knowledge I have gained from my research, my overindulgence of wine and food of this region, my life-long friendships with Rhône winemakers, and my continuous experimentation both in the vineyard and in the cellar that drives my Rhône-centric style. For me, it is very much a Zen thing.

KOKOMO WINERY Located in beautiful Dry Creek Valley, Kokomo Winery produces ultra-premium wines with an emphasis on single vineyards, and is focused on producing the best wines possible from the finest vineyards of Sonoma County. The winery’s small production techniques and relationships with growers allow the winemaker to make wines that are as individual and unique as the vineyards from which they were born. Kokomo Winery was founded in 2004 by winemaker / owner Erik Miller. The winery is named for his hometown of Kokomo, IN. Erik selected the Coastal Cypress as the winery logo to signify his move out west. Winery partner Randy Peters is a fourth generation Dry Creek Valley farmer who farms 80% of the winery’s vineyards.

The tasting room is open daily from 11 to 4:30.

Since 2004, Leo Hansen has been crafting natural wines made from organic or sustainably farmed vineyards. His winemaking practice is a hands off approach with spontaneous fermentation, using limited amounts of or no sulfur. Fermentation takes place in concrete, cask, or seasoned oak for maturation.

Leo produces food friendly wines true to the site and variety, from three different styles of Chenin Blanc to Chardonnay, biodynamic rosé of Grenache and Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Pinot noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and more.

Moshin Vineyards is located in the heart of the Russian River Valley where we specialize in small lots of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. We began in 1989 with a mere 200 cases and have slowly grown to nearly 8000 cases, mainly Pinot Noir. Our estate vineyards are sustainably farmed and hand-harvested to continuously bring you excellent wine from happy grapes.

The Tasting Room is open 7 days a week, walk-ins welcome, from 11:00am – 4:00pm. (Last seating is at 3:30pm) Tasting Fee $30.00, waived with 2 bottles of wine purchased.

Quality through sacrifice is our priority at Mounts Family Winery. For over 65 years and three generations, we have carefully and passionately farmed our 140 acre ranch in Dry Creek Valley. In 2005, love for our vineyards opened the door to creating intense complex wines, hand-crafted from our Estate. We welcome you to join us down in the cellar, below the 100 year old barn, for a tasting you will never forget. Our small, family-owned winery is open by appointment Monday – Friday and open most Saturday’s from 12 – 4. Please call or email us to schedule a truly unique and exciting wine tasting experience.

Since 1994, owners, operators, brothers and partners, Steve and Bruce Cousins have transformed Armida Winery from a quiet producer of good wines into a much livelier place focusing on artisan, single-vineyard wines from the top growers in Sonoma Valley. We hand-craft over ten different wines and feature some of the best vineyards in California, including Maple Vineyards Zinfandel and Maple Vineyards Tina’s Block (perhaps California’s BEST Zinfandel vineyard), Durell Chardonnay, Parmelee-Hill Pinot and Zinfandel, Gaps Crown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Chalone Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as well as the Castelli Knight Pinot Noir. From our seven-acre estate vineyard we produce Il Campo “Field Blend”, a delicious combination of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah.

While we make seriously great wine the focus at Armida is FUN!, which is one of the reasons we also produce PoiZin (Zinfandel) “The Wine to Die for,” and ANTIDOTE (White Wine Blend). We invite you to winery to try our wines and our warm, friendly hospitality. Enjoy the hillside views of the Russian River and Dry Creek  Valleys from our newly remodeled outdoor tasting area.  You can also reserve the Bocce Ball court with a minimum purchase. We hope to see you soon!

Wines you’ll remember from a place you’ll never forget, with wine country’s friendliest staff.

Bruce and Steve Cousins

Great wine has to be about place, which is achieved only if the bottled wine reflects where the grapes were grown. At Peterson Winery we practice the philosophy of Zero Manipulation. Our definition of Zero Manipulation is using the most gentle winemaking techniques possible to maximize flavors, aromatics and the original essence of the wine. The less you do in the course of a wine’s tenure in the cellar, the more of that essence you’ll have to bottle. My goal is that every vintage captures that sense of place.
