    Live musician Nick Foxer at DRNK!

    Delicious wines, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service! Ryan and Katie are the most accommodating hosts! The winds are exquisite, and the location is such a gem tucked away off the beaten path. The wine cave is beautiful and offers a unique opportunity in Sonoma County. Be sure to come check out one of their Friday night Happy hours or wine club events as they are sure to, please! It's a great spot for large groups or intimate dates. No matter the occasions it's always great to have a DRNK!

    DRNK Winery is a lovely spot to enjoy the taste of some superb Russian River Valley wines. Take in the beautiful views from the comfortable Adirondack chairs, share a picnic lunch or order the cheese and cracker plate. Be sure to have Kyle give you a Cave tour and share his knowledge of the wines.

    Fantastic tour. Thanks Kerry! We took the cheese and charcuterie tour and got the royal treatment. What a fantastic experience!

    We were referred here by a friend in the industry. I was in the area on a day by myself so I decided to see if I could get an appointment. They were able to bring me in. I got their and I was met by Anna who took time out of the busy wine making process to introduce me to their wines. Let me tell you, these wines are AMAZING! We started with the whites out on the patio. Two Pinot Gris (which I, suprisingly, loved) a beautiful Viognier and a quite stunning Chardonnay. We moved into the wine tasting to try the reds. Some truly anazing pinots in a great price range! A delicious malbec and a syrah that I can't get enough of. The wine cave was so fun getting to see the process up close. I couldn't leave without joining the club. Only a 6 bottle commitment twice a year. I left with 8 bottles. I came back with friends and my partner. Anna helped us again and had a wonderful time! My friends were truly impressed and we all left with about 20 bottles of wine. I can't say enough how much we loved DRNK. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship!

    Had family in town visiting Santa Rosa for the weekend and wanted to do some exploring in Sebastopol and drink wine. We were searching for a place that wasn't too crowded (as a lot of the tasting rooms in the Barlow were pretty full), low key, relatively priced, and allowed walk ins. I stumbled upon DRNK on Yelp and decided to head there after reading reviews. We were greeted by Kyle who was the only staff member there but you wouldn't have known it as he was super attentive and jovial. He led us on a cave tour which included a tasting of Chardonnay and was very informative on the process of how DRNK creates their wine. Afterwards we headed to the patio for the remaining of our tasting and had a fantastic time! Kyle handed us our flights of reds and talked about each wine and left us to discuss the wines. Our group loved the Pinot, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Honestly all the wines are delicious even the whites -- this coming from someone who only drinks reds. Though it is a small winery it has big, bold wines! Kyle was great and we really enjoyed his company and would highly recommend DRNK! We definitely will come back.

    We are a group of friends that meet every few weeks to go and taste wines in the Sonoma Napa area. this time we decided to go to Sebastopol area. We came across DRNK winery, a new winery that opened last year. When we called to coordinate a tasting, Ryan the owner and winemaker answered the call, LOCAL & PERSONAL just what we love - already I had a good feeling about this place. When we arrived Ryan gave us a personal tour of the winery, and the wine making process - the winery is inside a cave and there is a special atmosphere around. When we set down for the tasting, Ryan gave us more explanation about the rigen and the grapes, and we tasted some of his pinot & chardonnay, and the wines were very good. So... The wines where great! The visit was fun and interesting! A great place to visit. Highly recommended!

    This is one of the very few wineries in the Russian River Valley that has a wine cave. It is one of the few that the entire production (from receipt of grapes through finished wine) is all done within the cave. It is just past the Lynmar Estate Winery, and tucked behind (and underneath) a hill. First time I went here I came with my wine buddy and we were very enthused about visiting but didn't check ahead to if it was open to the public or by appointment only. (oops!) We get there and hear some nice soft rock and acoustic jazz coming from behind the large metal doors of the cave. We walk in and follow the echoing music past chambers of tanks and equipment. Just about then we figure we probably shouldn't be in there looking for someone we turn to leave. Then we were spotted by the winemaker, a nice looking young man, who greeted us and welcomed us to the winery. He was ecstatic to show us around and gave us a wonderful tour of his wine cave and his entire operation. He is a one man show and very proud of his operation, with good reason. The winemaker is none other than Ryan Kunde (yes, of the famous Kunde wine family.) I was impressed to see a young vintner in the business. From my experience and travels it is a rarity to find someone in their 20s making wine, let alone really good stuff. The winery is partnership between the Dougherty and Kunde families and is named for the members of the partnership - D (Dale Dougherty) R (Ryan Kunde) N (Nancy Dougherty) and K (Katie Kunde). I vaguely recall that this partnership is him, his in-laws and his wife. I am a huge fan of family businesses. The first time was actually very fun, being unannounced and kind of off the cuff. He took us through all his wines in between working tanks and his daily routine. He has a Pinot Gris - referred to as the Orange wine - he produces in the presse method (letting the grapes sit and then pressing to the desired color rather than blending or bleeding.) The thing that is unique about the wine is the color - orange, peachy. The viscosity is heavy, oily, yet savory with a finish of dried stone fruit. I was intrigued and wanted to try more. I liked the Chardonnay - it was very good for RRV. Flavor notes I remember, lemon creme brulee came to mind. He had two Pinot Noirs - both RRV - and I was impressed. Both of these wines were very complex and very good representatives of the AVA. I returned 6 months later with my wife, as part of the Pinot Classic event. I was very happy to see Ryan and his family participating in the event. When he saw me he recognized me and he knew I was the Vino Brotha from our last meeting. Since it has been a while I realized that he had a few new releases. Besides the wines already mentioned he released a Rose and a 2012 Viognier Katie's Corner (one block in Saralee's Vineyard) RRV. I am a huge fan of Viognier, so I was excited. I'm going to tell you about the rose first. The rose was produced in the Saignee method and was crisp, with strawberries and light pomegranate flavors. It had a slight buttery finish, as it was barrel aged. Now to my all time favorite white, Rhone, varietal - Viognier. Beautiful orange blossom floral nose. Crisp peaches, tropical fruit, nice minerality with some white pepper to the finish. Something that is unique of Viognier is that is is one of the most tannic white wines. (it is also known as the red wine of white wines, btw.) Definitely on my list as one of the top 10 Viogniers I've had to date. If you are out wine exploring in Russian River Valley you might want to make this a stop on your travels. Call ahead and get an appointment so Ryan can show you his unique operation and you can sample his great wines. One note, don't be shy about picking up a bottle of DRNK at local grocery stores, either. Really is good wine. Check it Out!

    M and me in the DRNK caves!

    This business does not care about it's customers and is so impossible to reach it's almost comical…read more I was a long-term customer of Fog Crest. In 2024 we received a shipment of wine where all the wine in the shipment was broken. In typical situations, wineries offer replacement of broken bottles, but Fog Crest was impossible to reach in spite of (literally) 50 phone calls and emails. Since I couldn't reach them, I canceled my subscription to their wine club. Flash forward a few months, they charge me another ~$500 on my credit card for wine, but never ship me any wine (in spite of the fact that I had already canceled online). Again, dozens of calls and emails, no answer and no response. Still trying. A few months after that, they charge me ANOTHER ~$500 on my credit card for wine, but don't ship that wine to me either. After probably 100 calls and emails, I finally talk to the wine club coordinator on the phone. She of course acknowledges my dozens of messages, and acknowledges my situation. She says she will replace the wine that was broken and figure out why they've been charging me for wine I haven't been receiving and make it right. But that she can't talk right now and she'd call me back with more information. That was a month ago. I've now called again dozens of times, and emailed. No response. Called and emailed the owner, no response. This is borderline criminal: $1,500 in charges for undelivered product, a non-existent customer service experience, and an online system so archaic that it doesn't process your cancelation and continues to charge you for product.

    Zero Accountability and Terrible Customer Service - Avoid Fog Crest!…read more I'm absolutely appalled by my experience with Fog Crest Winery. We joined their wine club in 2023 and was charged $420 all of 2024/25 for wine that they NEVER shipped. When I called to inquire about where the wine was, I was met with complete silence--multiple calls and messages went unanswered. After finally getting a call back, the person said they only called me back because "she saw we had called a lot in one day." That was the first red flag. She promised to credit my account and look into another charge that had been applied. It's been SEVEN days since that conversation, and STILL no credit, no updates, and no resolution. I've followed up with multiple calls, messages, and emails... NOTHING. At this point, it's clear that they don't care about their customers. I highly recommend staying far away from Fog Crest if you value your time and money. Total waste of both

The wine itself was underwhelming for the price and as nothing stood out to us, we finished our tasting and didn't grab anything to go. As we weren't wine club members here, the host didn't pay us much attention. Worth trying once, maybe, to see if their wines are to your liking.
