Absolutely the best winery in Sonoma, hands down. That would be my opinion, of course. I can't say I've been to too many wineries on my wine tasting trips in Sonoma, an estimate would be about 15. My favorite is Cline. No contest. Their wines are full bodied and flavorful. Whenever I'm looking to have a glass of quality wine, I always look for a bottle of Cline.

I've been a member of their wine club since 2001, so they provide my wine fix with automatic shipments of two bottles per quarter. It's about $60 for two bottles, including shipping. With these wine club shipments, my wife has since become a Cline wine fan as well.

An interesting fact I learned on my last visit. The Jacuzzi line of wine is part of the Cline family. Fred Cline is the grandson of Jacuzzi, who is the same Jacuzzi as the hot tub. With some money that he received from his grandfather, he started Cline Cellars. At least, that's the story as I heard it. I can't vouch for it's accuracy, especially because it was after the wine tasting, not prior to.
