Friendly Hawkes' makes an easy stopover while you're exploring the valley. The single-
vineyard Cab is damn good, as is the blend; there's also a clean-and-crisp, non-malolactic
Chardonnay. Bottles are $30 to $70 and the tasting fee is refundable with a purchase.

Wow, what a view from the hilltop concrete-and-glass tasting room at Stryker Sonoma.
The standouts are fruit-forward Zinfandel and Sangiovese, which you can't buy anywhere
else. Good picnicking. Bottles are $20 to $50; tasting fee is refundable with purchase.

Specializes in ports (ruby, not tawny); the chocolate port makes a great gift.
