Horse and Plow is a west county tasting room worth a visit. The attitude is chill, and relaxed. It is really unlike other tasting rooms in Sonoma County.

Gwen first brought Horse and Plow to my attention when she told me they were having music on the patio outside the tasting room on a Friday night. She wanted to go see what it was all about. I thought "Music and Wine... I'm in"

We found Horse and Plow to be a small intimate place with parking spaces for about 15 cars. Luckily an employee was using his creativity to put cars in places you would normally not consider parking. We went inside and sampled a few wines before choosing a bottle to buy (Rose' I believe) and take outside on the patio. Can't remember the name of the band but they were good with a southern rock genre. We met my pest inspector Bill Mashek, and enjoyed a beautiful evening outside, with food we bought from Andy's Produce Market down the street. In the tasting room, you can buy bottles of wine or a growler of wine which is more cost effective if you plan to refill the bottle.

Horse and Plow makes all organic wines and buys from strick organic producers. They have a nice choice of whites and a number of reds including Cab Franc which can be difficult to find in Sonoma County. They also make several varieties of hard cider. Horse and Plow is an unusual place and definitely worth a visit. If nothing else, I recommend coming on a Friday evening with friends and enjoying the total experience.
