The Back Room Wine Diary
I'm often asked to "let you know when the really good wine comes in." No surprise to you, I'm sure, but if I bring it in, then it is the really good stuff. Still, I know what you mean.you want wines that will rock your wine world. So, I reserve this page for such wines, wines that will indeed move you.
Our Wine Diary has four sections: Cabs and Cab Blends, This Just In, Under $25 Wines and High Rent District. If you're into the best small-production California wines, then you must keep an eye on my Wine Diary. Without a doubt, there will be wines here that will soon be part of your wine collection.

Featured Winery
We're excited to present Anthill Farms as our Featured Winery for the second time. They're the first to achieve such stature. Anthill Farms is a team of three young men who met and worked together at Williams Selyem Winery in 2003. Their mantra is common, but few practice what they preach as well as they. The wines are about expression of vineyard, nuance, bottle development and deliciousness.
We offer eight wines from Anthill Farms for your enjoyment. Six Pinot Noirs (5 single-vineyard bottlings and an Anderson Valley), one Syrah and a stunning Late Harvest Sauv Blanc. Mixed case suggestions are included. Read about Anthill and our tasting notes here...
