I should mention that Bottle Barn now has a tasting room in Healdsburg. They offer many, many local wines for tasting. The cost is a function of the wine and the size of taste you choose, generally in the $1-3 range. The advantage is that you can taste several different wineries, all in the same place.

That's a great idea, Dave. Do they stock all the wines they pour on the premises, or do you have to purchase them in the old Bottle Barn location? This whole thread is going to go into the FAQ.

It's called the Wine Annex and they usually have around 50 different bottles opened (stored and dispensed under nitrogen). They stock all the wines they pour and charge the same discounted prices that Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa does. I'm sure everyone has noticed that there are no discounts at the wineries.

They will also find unusual wines for you and discount them. I was looking for Klick Zin, which they had never heard of (up in the Sonoma hills) and the tracked it down, got the wine and still discounted it for me. But we've been trying to keep Bottle Barn quiet!
I was at the tasting room in Windsor in July.
