Of the 54 wineries participating in the Wine Road weekend event, we narrowed our list to Russian River Vineyards, Overshine Wine Company, Leo Steen Wines, Idlewild Wines, and Ridge Vineyards. With Wolfie at home and the high price of dog sitters, we couldn’t cover all of Wine Road’s territory spanning the Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, and downtown Healdsburg in one day. We would miss the 11 participating wineries in the Alexander Valley, including Francis Ford Coppola Winery and our favorite, J. Rickards Winery.
Unfortunately, we missed Ridge Vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley that day because we got there after the stroke of four (the end of the tasting fun). But, as we doubled back along Dry Creek Road, I caught sight of the magnificent Tuscan-style Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery. Although they aren’t members of Wine Road, we made it our final stop.
