San Francisco Bay Area
Napa wineries with chardonnays with heavy malolactic fermentation, as well as good pinots.
I’d suggest William Hill Estate (formerly William Hill Winery) - new team there and the Reserve Chard is spectacular. And you should try Domaine Chandon for their pinot noir and pinot meunier. (16 replies, last updated by jenwong October 27, 2006)

Where should I get a drink before Ad Hoc?
into the driveway of Domaine Chandon. Lovely setting to drink some very fine bubbly. I’d get a split of the Etoile, or sample the fine (and unusual) red wine called Pinot Meunier. But I’m a wine head, and you may need... (5 replies, last updated by maria lorraine September 19, 2008)
