…well 57 if we take away one of your two Big Table Farm recommendations post 51 & 55 (I kid, I kid 
I know you said you had a long day yesterday!)
Ha!
You can tell what a friend served me Friday night!
D’oh!
These plus Madson for a short-list of great under-the-radar Santa Cruz Mountains producers. Focused, terroir-driven.
2nd this opinion, BIG TABLE FARM!!!
Lynmar is great.

Hi Lee,
Thanks for thinking of Briceland Vineyards. It’s an honor to be nominated.

If you happen to make it to Sebastopol, Sonoma County, there’s a place called Region that has a lot of Pinot Noirs in machines on the wall. It would be a great way to sample a number of the labels mentioned above (including our entry-level PN) without much cost per taste nor driving a lot from winery to winery. Once you have a read on the house style, you can proceed more efficiently with joining lists.

Have you tried Boheme, Paul Matthews, Macrostie, or Arista? Boheme is my favorite on the list. They have a tasting room in Occidental. Gorgeous, hand crafted, small batch, single vineyard pinot. And well priced.

The Matheson in Healdsburg also has an exceptional selection of wines, or small pours available. Many top producers. I do not know why this kind of thing is not more common, but I see this kind of selection very rarely, anywhere in the world.

Especially given the OPs leanings. These seem like a great fit.

I find most Lynmar to be very forward. Love the domaine de la cote, but like Peter Michael, it is very pricey.
