"This downtown tasting room is in an old auto repair warehouse with a stylized industrial feel and a classic-rock soundtrack, harkening back to Smith’s roots as a rock band manager. But don’t let the casual atmosphere fool you — the wines here are some of the state’s most highly acclaimed. The SIXTO label, which produces chardonnay exclusively, and K Vintners, which focuses on syrah, are both regular award winners." - Matthew Lombardi
