Fodor's Review:

Rochioli Vineyards and Winery claims one of the prettiest picnic sites in the area, with tables overlooking vineyards, which are also visible from the airy little tasting room hung with modern artwork. The winery makes one of the county's best chardonnays but is especially known for its pinot noir, which tends to sell out very quickly (ask to be put on their mailing list if you decide you're a fan). In 2005 they started using some of those pinot grapes to make their first dry rosé. Dry rosés are newly popular in California, as they prove that pink wines don't have to be sickly sweet.
