"Let's face it: A day of tasting big, expressive red wines can be exhausting. And unless you're in the business, chances are you won't be spitting as much as I do (it's the worst part of my job). This is where Gott's roadside comes in. It has no Michelin stars, you have to wait in line to order your meal, and they sell T-shirts and hats emblazoned with their logo. All of this adds up to one thing: Gott's is exactly what you'll need after a morning of winery visits to soothe your weary palate (Fat! Protein! Carbs!) and fortify you for the afternoon's 'work.' The Western Bacon Blue Ring is one of my go-to options, though the Kimchi Burger comes in a close second. The fish and seafood tacos are solid choices, too. Whatever you eat there, you'll be ready to face that next round of Cabernet with confidence. And probably a new T-shirt." - Brian Freedman
