Benzinger Family Winery

This was our first stop on the Sonoma wine tour on Monday - Benzinger is a family-owned winery that does biodynamic organic farming in a bowl-shaped spot in the valley. We got a great overview of how to make wine, and we finally found a chardonnay we both like. Our guide said the family is committed to the local area and is one of the few wine families that hasn't devolved into infighting or sold off to a conglomerate. A great place to start.
