"This lowkey wine bar in Sonoma is one of the newer restaurants in the area, but it’s already a top must-visit spot whenever we head north. They serve creative, frequently-changing dishes like tender cumin lamb or soft-boiled eggs topped with XO sauce, and everything is prepared perfectly with simple, fresh, seasonal ingredients. The back patio decked in string lights and parklet are also great for unwinding with a glass of wine after being out and about all day - or just grab a seat at the bar." - julia chen 1
