As part of the Carneros wine region, Cline is a welcoming entry point to wine country. We visited most recently with a medium-sized group, and although some of us were only interested in sweeter, aromatic whites while others looked for full-bodied reds, Ron, who poured for us at the patio tasting bar, was excellent at ensuring everyone found something they enjoyed. He recommended wines at the edge of our comfort zones, from less common varietals like Carignane, to a smooth red blend even the white-wine-only drinkers might enjoy, but was never pushy. Tastings are complimentary, the atmosphere is gregarious, and the staff members are knowledgeable.
