"Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser planted this vineyard’s first vines in the Dundee Hills in 1971, making it one of the oldest in the valley. The winery is still largely a family business: Alex Sokol Blosser, Susan and Bill’s son, runs the company, and Robin Howell, who’s been with Sokol Blosser since 2012 and was instrumental in establishing the winery as a sparkling powerhouse, heads up the winemaking side. Sokol Blosser’s wide-ranging selection of pinots is impressive, as are its fun blends and sparkling wines — that’s not to mention the extensive food program. Walk-ins are welcome depending on availability, but it’s best to reserve. Sokol Blosser is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
