Amista ~ making friends

Tasting daily from 11:00am – 3:30pm

Did you know Amista is the premiere producer of Dry Creek Valley sparkling wines?  We are now in our 15th year of crafting sparkling wines using the traditional method for making French champagne. Our sparkling Blanc de Blanc and Sparkling Syrah are both made from grapes grown in our estate vineyards.

We also offer estate-grown Syrah, Chardonnay, Grenache and a Rhone style blend we call Tres, plus Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the vineyards of our Healdsburg neighbors.

Our wines are food friendly and we encourage you to discover for yourself at one of our wine and food pairings.

Please join us in a toast to friendship! We believe that wine is a discovery to be shared with friends, old and new. We hope you will enjoy our wines, share them with friends and celebrate the friendly spirit of Sonoma wine country living.

~ Michael & Vicky Farrow, Proprietors

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.

Limerick Lane Cellars is a family-owned, 53-acre estate winery producing cool climate old-vine Zinfandels, Syrah, and Rhone blends in the Russian River Valley.  At Limerick Lane Cellars we strive to produce wines noted not only for their exceptional balance and elegance but wines with an undeniable sense of history and place.

Our tasting room is located three miles south of downtown Healdsburg on Limerick Lane (off Old Redwood Highway).  We are open daily from 10:00 – 5:00.   Tastings by appointment.

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.
