Fodor's Expert Review Winery Sixteen 600 Tasting House

Don't be surprised if someone in tie-dye greets you at the downtown salon of this winery whose labels psychedelic art whiz Stanley Mouse—known for his rock posters and Grateful Dead album covers—designs. The hippie ethos that begat the 1960s back-to-the-land movement and the original Earth Day survives and thrives in the wines, whose grapes come from vineyards cofounder Phil Coturri manages. Dubbed by Wine Spectator magazine the "Wizard of Green," Coturri is an expert at organic and biodynamic viticulture. Grenache is a particular jam, but in several decades of farming he's proven adept at coaxing the best out of whatever varietals he's tending. Tastings might include rosé, Viognier, Grenache, Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, or other wines. If you're interested, the hosts are happy to explain Coturri's winegrowing philosophy—but only after you've selected some vinyl (classic jazz or rock) to accompany your pours.
