Michel-Schlumberger 
Wineries / Breweries, Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys
Fodor's Review:
Down a narrow road at the westernmost edge of the Dry Creek Valley, Michel-Schlumberger is one of Sonoma's finest producers of cabernet sauvignon, aptly described by the winery's tour guide as a "full, rich big mouthful of wine." The tour is required but it's casual, friendly -- and free. You can wander up a gravel pathway into the edge of their lovely benchland vineyards before swinging through the barrel room in the California Mission-style building that once served as the home of the winery's founder, Jean-Jacques Michel. The tour concludes with a taste of their coveted cabernet, plus some very fine chardonnay, syrah, and pinot noir.
