Here’s Where to Spend 36 Food and Wine-Filled Hours in Lodi | Eater SF

"I make this the perfect first stop in town thanks to its prominent position on Highway 12 just after crossing the Lodi border; brothers Michael and David Phillips are fifth-generation farmers on the site since the 1860s and their playful sense of humor shows across the wine labels, most famously the Freakshow series — the Freakshow chardonnay even features a mermaid with a back-code that deciphers to 'Madison.' The teensy on-site café serves proper breakfast and lunch seven days a week, showcasing country classics like sweet potato hash with Brussels sprouts and Sriracha maple syrup, and you should be sure to snag a slice of pie." - Laura Smith Borrman
