Speedo,<BR><BR>I haven't been to the Geyser Peak winery, however I had an excellent, excellent Shiraz from them this past Christmas time. It was a reserve Shiraz, forget what year.<BR><BR>To whoever mentioned Ridge previously. The San Jose winery they have is perfectly charming, I hate to mention it so that it doesn't get too swarmed, but it's great. They just opened a new tasting room in Sonoma, but I don't really like it, it's a bit sterile, but who knows how it will be when everything is totally finished.

God..I miss Nina.

Thanks, Fodors, for cleaning up this site.<BR><BR>Any other good recommendations for wineries in the Healdsburg area, especially for Pinot Noir?

Budman, in Healdsburg, Papapietro-Perry<BR>makes one of the best Pinot's around. <BR>http://www.papapietro-perry.com/ <BR>They specialize in Pinot Noir from that region, and do it very well.<BR>Tell Bruce Perry that Bruce H. sent you.

Does anyone have any thoughts re:<BR><BR>DeLoach<BR>Iron Horse<BR>La Crema<BR>Limerick Lane<BR>Domaine St. George<BR>Amphora<BR><BR>Also, I noticed that the SF Chronicle released it's 100 best wines of 2002. Do you find this a useful guide or bird cage liner?
