Wineries near Gloria Ferrer ?

Hello

A friend needs to make a quick trip to Gloria Ferrer in Sonoma to pick up some wine. Thinking of joining him.

Looking for recommendations of other wineries near Ferrer that would be worth visiting. Most likely we will only have time for 1 maybe 2 wineries in addition to Ferrer?

Any recommendations? Would prefer a place that has a good pinot.

Also the plan is to go either next Sunday 9/9 or the following one 9/16. Anything special going on in the area that might influence which Sunday?

Thanks!

Across the street is a tasting room for several wineries, including Molnar Family, which makes well priced cabernet etc from a vineyard in Lake County and Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from their vineyard in Carneros. Schug is just around the corner. One passes five wineries between the race track and GF, inc Ramsgate,Jacuzzi and Cline. Fred Cline ‘discovered’ those old vine vineyards in Contra Costa county so that might be quite interesting.

I can recommend Keller Estate which is close by - about a 15 minute drive and you’ll need a reservation. You could also do more sparkling wine at Domaine Carneros - which is also about 15 minutes away.
There are many wineries in the town of Sonoma, which is about 10 minutes away.

Rams Gate is great fun, but you MUST have a reservation. Order the “board” of charcuterie and cheeses there as a lunch.

Not much pinot around there - too hot. Good pinot in the Carneros area but it’s not that close.

Cline is good for zins and they have a decent rose.

Friends like Jacuzzi across the street from Cline.

If one drives another fifteen minutes or so then there are tons of wineries to choose from in Carneros, Vineburg,GlenEllen etc

A 15-20 minute drive is not much if it gets you to a preferred or better tasting/winery.
