This award has about as much clout as my ‘best of’ selections. Less, perhaps because I pay for the wines I judge.

Rather than Jordan in Alexander Valley (which charges $100 just for a tasting at the winery and is mainly loved by oligarch types who only consider obscenely expensive rich-guy-only wines) I’d choose La Folette, an organic winery in nearby Dry Creek.

(Incidentally, Napa and Sonoma county are the largest users of Roundup in California and, surely coincidentally, have the highest levels of childhood cancer in the state.)
