2306 Magnolia Drive, Healdsburg, CA 95448 Phone: 800 405 5987 Hours: Open Daily 10am - 5pm Club/Discounts: 20% - 25% Discounts Tasting Fees: No Charge We stumbled across Alderbook and were surprised to see the parking lot full of cars as the places we came from were empty. Low and behold a wine event for members was on. We managed to get in for a $10 fee, which allowed us to taste the wines and have some nibbles. The tasting room caters to bigger crowds and has a lot of retail goods available. The sort of tasting room you see in Napa. Nice place. It was pretty busy the day we were there and we had a fun time drinking the wine and meeting the locals. I would expect the place to be usually quiet in December. We thought the wines were average... Nothing special |

| Definitely the best wine at the winery. A very nice, well structured Zin. Good fruit with a nice finish. |

| Getting better (could not get much worse!!). Smooth Zin. Not too spicy for an Old Vine Zin. Good price |

| The tasting notes say: "Pronounced KarenYawn, Full of briar and black fruit with wonderful spice". We would have stopped at the Yawn. Boring wine. Flat |

| Oh dear. Smells like old socks. "Do we have to taste this?". Not very nice wine. Stay with the Zinfandels |
