703 Main St., (530) 554-8534. $1 per taste.
I started my tasting at Uvaggio tasting room backwards, with a delicious Twisted Rivers 2012 Petite Sirah. Then I moved on to Turkovich’s tasty signature blend, The Boss, which became a personal favorite, and then to their delicious Tempranillo. Then I sampled a Bridgehead Cabernet Franc, a buttery Acacia Chardonnay, and a surprisingly only-OK Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Chardonnay. Almost everyone in the room agreed that a Berryessa Gap Verdelho, with a floral nose and delicious taste, was not business as usual. This tasting room is the perfect spot for an afternoon wine sampling enhanced with a bit of yum. Among the bar snacks are rustic sourdough with dipping oil, and a cheese-and-salami slate accented with lavender chevre and local honey. All wine and food is strictly local to Northern California.
When done tasting, if you are still hungry and thirsty, just cross the street to:

Savory Cafe

An exposed-brick wall adds coziness to the open room at Savory Cafe, where the specialty is refined dishes made with an abundance of local products. I enjoyed an earthy beet salad with baby arugula, followed by delicious crispy-skinned brick chicken with mashed potatoes and a tasty, garlicky chimchurri sauce. With it I tasted several Putah Creek wines, and selected the flavorful, complex 2013 Malbec as my favorite.
