What a wonderful surprise for Healdburg. I have been purchasing Siduri over the years but now am quite pleasantly surprised to see the tasting room, wine bar and restaurant together just off of the main square in Healdsburg.
I love Pinot Noir so I as always happy when a winery not only focuses on pinot but masters them. Siduri is definitely one of the great pinot houses in the United States with so many choices covering all of the major wine regions throughout California. Gary's Vineyard Pinot is a monster with such elegance and depth. So many other of their choices cover all the range from earthy to light and berry flavored. This is a pinot geek's heaven.
The service was truly unique. Most of the major rooms in the plaza are surprisingly impersonal as they tend to get lots of demanding and in-impressionable high income folks. Given this many of the other rooms are simply not pleasant to visit. Siduri has truly taken a different approach making the experience extremely fun, relaxing and chill. I was lucky to have Anna as my steward and what an amazingly intelligent and personable person she was. She was so very proud of Siduri wines and was fully capable of explaining the finest nuances of each. She was so smart too about the wine business, the industry, wine trends and the uniqueness of Siduri vs. other wineries. I did come out of the experience way more knowledgeable and, of course, with Siduri pinot in my hands!
Siduri holds a unique niche in Healdsburg being an industry leading pinot specialist while offering a high-end, yet approachable, tasting menu with a unique specialty being the fried chicken. I received three independent and unrelated recommendations to eat at Siduri and eat the fried chicken. This was a great trio of recommendation.
I am a big fan of this place. It is relaxed, classy, comfortable and extremely friendly. The staff are basically perfect in their professionalism, knowledge and rapport with you. You will come out more knowledgeable and you will return (as I did).
Thank you Anna for making my experiences at Siduri so pleasant and perfect. I will return many more times.
