Speedo,

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.

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.

Any other good recommendations for wineries in the Healdsburg area, especially for Pinot Noir?

They specialize in Pinot Noir from that region, and do it very well.
Tell Bruce Perry that Bruce H. sent you.

Does anyone have any thoughts re:

DeLoach
Iron Horse
La Crema
Limerick Lane
Domaine St. George
Amphora

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?
