We had a great tasting with seven friends just before Thanksgiving. Everyone at Laurel Glen is so friendly and they share their extensive knowledge of their delicious wines with as much detail as you like. It’s a very nice tasting room too. Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks so much Nick and Rhita!

There are several elegant little places in Glen Ellen including restaurants, a French bakery and Laurel Glen Vineyard which is an essential stop for wine tasting. Everyone goes for the cabs but the Sauvignon Blanc maybe the best in the USA.

We stopped in after a hike in Jack London Park and were welcomed into a beautiful cool tasting room with several options for a flight of tasting. The Sauvignon Blanc and white blend were delicious and well balanced and the Riesling was excellent. It was nice to find such a good version in Sonoma County. We also really enjoyed the Counterpoint Cabernet Sauvignon which was well balanced with fruit flavors and complexity. We shared stories and learned about the family history of the winery from Rhita who was friendly and knowledgeable about the Sonoma County wine region. I highly recommend a stop here if you are going through Glen Ellen.

The Laurel Glen Winery, nestled amidst the vine-clad hills, is a Dionysian dreamscape where sanity is optional and hedonism reigns supreme. Nick, the madman behind the tasting bar, poured with the precision of a surgeon and the reckless abandon of a Vegas high roller. Each glass of Sauvignon Blanc was a crisp, citrusy revelation, while the Cabernet Sauvignon hit like a velvet freight train of dark fruit and oak. The Blanc was so good it made me consider buying a vineyard and adopting a pet goat named Sauvignon. By the time we hit the Cab, my taste buds were partying harder than a Hell’s Angel at Sturgis. If you’ve got the guts, follow Nick down the rabbit hole–just don’t blame me when you emerge a wine-soaked lunatic.
