    Do they still do the $10 tastings on the wine shop side (indoors at the bar)?

Tucked in Sonoma Plaza,…read morethe historic space had exposed stone walls and a quirky but luxe steampunk, stagecoach feel. I had the $60 Texture Flight, featuring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while my spouse opted for the $70 Repris Flight. Lindsay was a good wine educator, knowledgeable, engaging, and unhurried. Since we visited midweek, we were given time to linger and enjoy the experience. The $30 cheese and charcuterie board was actually a pretty good value, although the five Rustic Bakery crackers allotted felt pretty insufficient. An additional cheese selection and some good bread would have made it feel more balanced. There were some really annoying flies in the tasting room, which were difficult to keep off our board. The wines were good and the education component was excellent. But at $60 to $70 per tasting, plus food charges, the value was not quite there for us. I'd give it 3.5 to 4 stars. A nice place to linger in Sonoma, particularly if you appreciate a tasting room on the town square, thoughtful wine education & strong AC on a hot Sonoma summer day.

You feel the warmth when you walk in. Carlo was a very kind and charming tasting room manager. He knows the wines, grapes and regions very well and captivates you with each story of the bottle he is pouring. He even explains the glassware. There are 3 different wine flights to try and you can taste by the class. The bar can also accommodate a flight that suits your preference. I was looking for an all red flight, and Carlo happily created one for me that I would for sure enjoy. For Designated Drivers, there are two non-alcoholic sparkling wines from Italy to try so no one feels left out. The tasting menu has light bites to complement the wines such as a charcuterie board, cheese plates, and chips. Carlo lets you know what goes well with the wine you're having. And for after tasting, a variety of coffees. The wines I tried were all delicious. I purchased 3 bottles. (Note: You can ask for a "dump bucket" but you don't need one because the wines are very good.) 1. Old Vine Rosé - So good and very popular that they have it on tap! 2. Whole Hog - A delicious Rhône! 3. Eleve Cabernet - drinks like a Bordeaux. When in Downtown Sonoma, please stop by and give them a try. It's a nice break from shopping or a good place to sit and chat with friends for the afternoon.

They came around to give us a second round of crostini since we ran out and we didn't have to request for it. They must get a lot of requests of the extra crostini to enjoy and finish the mousse entirely! Steak tartare to savor over as well as their pickled caperberries, offered something different to cornichons and complimented well with the steak tartare. Duck confit was to be delved into! They know how to make the duck confit still juicy and tender! I adore the corn ragout, pickled alliums, squash and sweet peppers all mixed together and laid underneath the duck confit. It's a unique dish and a signature entree one must order! I haven't tasted anything like this before. Their iron steak could be replaced with something else. I do like their frites on this entree but they could have upped their game by providing gratin instead (which they have on their menu only as a side) with the steak. Adored their gratin. Overall warm dining atmosphere, quaint vibes and quality, attention to detail, French bites being served here!

    The Girl & the Fig was such a great stop! The steak tartare was one of the best I've ever had. We…read moredid have to ask them to add the egg yolk, but once they did, it was perfect. The smoked fish dip was really good too, although I thought it could have used a little less mayo. The deviled eggs were my least favorite of the dishes we tried. We also ordered a couple of cocktails. The lavender espresso martini had just a hint of lavender, which I really liked. I also had a cocktail made with fig caramel, and it was so tasty that now I have to try making fig caramel myself! If we had been hungrier, I would have loved to try more of the menu. I'd definitely go back!
