    This place is a must visit while in Sonoma! It's a cute little shop but has such fantastic wines inside. They are French based which makes them unique to the area, and although they are small batch the quality of wine is on point. They are so friendly and helpful at getting you the best wine!

    Julie was super sweet & she is originally from france. She was so friendly and explained all the wines to us. She started us with some sparkling wine then we had some still wines white and red. My favorite was the rosé of syrah. It was flavorful but so easy to drink and perfect for when its a warm day. Very reasonably priced tasting for the wine you get. Location is great right downtown in sonomoa square. We will be back

    Enjoyed the wine tasting of whites and reds with education on the French style wines made in California. Wines only sold at this location. Walked away with the white wine sparkling. We had a tasting first thing on Saturday at 1030 am and it went quickly while enjoying the courtyard fountain outside.

    Sosie Wine Tasting Sonoma CA Sat 5/7/22 © Stepped into magical world of Sonoma Court Shops heading initially next door to Sosie Wines... for Pinot at Fulcrum. Something stopped me from making it few steps further;) Saw Sosie Wines tasting room, was greeted by Gigi, she's such an enthusiast of the winery! Sat outside in the Vine Alley by the fountain. Felt spectacular! Loved Sosie, they're open now for about eleven months, fun place, the only tasting room, had some Pinot, brought home their sparkling, everything organic and naturally made (as winemaking process allows it) very personable which I prefer, or maybe just got lucky with Gigi there:-) È spettacolare! A taste of Pinot Noir 2017 from Spring Hill Vineyard, Sonoma Coast, to decide on the bottle. Very good, let's do it! Lovely. So here's what's coming to your nose: black tea (the only kind I drink!), Cherry (love!), juniper & hibiscus. And to your mouth: ripe plum (oh yeah!) & strawberry with equal measures of nutmeg, caraway seed, clove and vanilla. $45 bottle. Harvest day: 6 Sept 2017, aged 21 Mos. in 40% new oak. You can find all the details right on the bottle: elevation 500ft., soils, clones, fermentation process. Farmed organically and only 5 barrels made! Instantly feels exclusive. 95 points, Anthony Dias Blue. You can only taste these wines here at the wine room. Sosie (pronounced So-Zee) is French for look-alike or double. The concept in my interpretation: small artisan shop. Wines produced in small batches with minimal intervention and the lightest touch of oak, inspired by the wines of France. Owners Regina and Scott aim at pairing California grown wines with French soul. The soul which tells them when to pick the grapes and how to treat it in the cellar. They employ an old school approach to wine growing that favors restraint over ripeness, finesse over flamboyance. To make it food friendly akin French Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire, Rhone... to craft California wines that are their sosie. One third through the bottle, my mood turned to bubbly. Gigi brought out the cork for the Pinot to take back home, and three tastes of Sparkling: *First Things First* - 2019 Sparkling white Brut Nature, 100% Roussanne. $36 bottle. *Bare Necessity* - 2019 Sparkling Rosé, Methode Champenoise, $36 bottle. *A Moment of Weakness* - 2019 Sparkling Red, Methode Champenoise, $40 bottle. Plums, boysenberry, cardamom on the nose. Ribbons of blackberry & raspberry. This bubbly somehow is both creamy and zesty. It finishes dry, with orange peel & baking spice. How can something this mysterious and brooding be so lip smacking and joyful? It's all about the bubbles! First Things First! Barrel fermented with full ML, then aged in neutral oak for 6 months, before its 2nd fermentation in bottle. Aromas of apricot, orange and brioche. Rich and creamy with a beam of ripe fruit. So I did things unconventionally, laughing - in backwards order! Since tasting fee is waived with purchase of any 2 bottles, and I bought 3, I got to try from both lists: Tasting Menu - 5 wines / $35 and Reserve Tasting Menu - 5 wines / $45. I won't bore you with the wines as I'm sure current releases will change with future visits. Plus, you gotta discover it for yourself. All you truly gotta know: Sosie is the place to be at! Gigi at Sosie is an amazing sommelier! Buonissimo! Cheers! *I wanna forgive and forget, and poison all my enemies Beat the savage drums of war all night, and in the morning pray for peace Baby, I don't ever wanna die, And I wanna hear the angels sing I wanna give every dime I own, I want all the gold for me I want everything, hmm I want everything [ Review #703 posted with 4 pictures on May 22, 2022 ] Gigi pouring Pinot Noir! @Sosie Wines Sonoma CA Sat 5/7/22 Sosie Wines tasting room in Sonoma Court Shops Vine Alley CA Sat 5/7/22 Sosie Pinot, 2017 superb!

    Sosie is a lovely little winery, tucked in the shopping center of downtown Sonoma, CA. It has a welcoming environment that promotes a relaxing wine tasting experience. If you have the option to have Gary assist with your experience during your tasting, I highly recommend him. He's very informative and delightful to talk with. As you explore the delicious and refreshing varieties of wines that are offered at Sosie, Gary provides excellent customer service that will enlighten and educate. Sosie is definitely worth taking some time out of your day to visit. This establishment provides comfortable seating for all guests to enjoy their experience.

    The wine, service, ambience and vibes had it all going on in the best ways. The perfect little hidden gem just off the square. Highly recommend!

    The entance

    Being a fan of small priduction, hard to find, artusan wines, I was drawb to Sosie. Not your typical overdone, over ripe California style wines, these wines are definitely destined for the table. Located in Vine Alley, off the Sonoma Plaza, it's a nice little oasis.

    The Syrah!

They can't really advertise from the street, and I probably wouldn't have found it without Yelp! The wines are excellent and come with a great story. One detail I especially loved is that they age their wines in Hungarian oak, which gives them something a little different and special. Gwen, the tasting room manager, was fantastic. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and really took the time to tell us the story behind the wines and Obsidian. The tasting room has only been at this location for about two years, but it feels like one of those Sonoma spots you're glad you discovered. The space itself is small, modern, relaxed, and friendly. There's outdoor seating for beautiful Sonoma days, but if it's really hot, I recommend sitting inside and enjoying the AC. Definitely worth seeking out if you're around Sonoma Square. Great wine, great storytelling, and a wonderfully low-key experience.

We were first introduced to them back when they had their tasting room at Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma. The setting there was incredibly welcoming--especially with our three young kids at the time--and between the atmosphere and the wines, we were hooked from the start. The wines are consistently outstanding. Their Lake County lineup really stands out, and the Volcanic Estate Cabernet has been a go-to in our house for years--it's always been reasonably priced and somehow overdelivers every single time we open a bottle. On the other end of the spectrum, the Half Mile is more of a special occasion wine for us, and it never disappoints. Winemaker Alex clearly knows what he's doing--his reds are fantastic across the board. The Cabernet, Petit Verdot, and Malbec from that volcanic Lake County fruit are bold, expressive, and incredibly well made. We've been wine club members for years now, which says a lot. Great wines, great people, and a place that's been part of our family's wine journey for a long time. Highly recommend.

The friend that took us here mentioned how she likes that you never feel rushed. I see why people purchase wine club memberships now. As a Pendulum wine club member she gets wine pick ups, discounts, and unlimited tastings with three guests. The setting is beautiful! So many flowers. Nicely shaded picnic benches with umbrellas. They have a large fish pond and it's 25 cents for a cup of fish food to feed the turtles and koi. This is one of the most family friendly wineries I've seen. Many people bring their kids. They have corn holes too. Fancy and Pudding were the highlight! I reached out and felt like a Disney princess having one of them come to me for pets. The restrooms were very clean as well! It was fun browsing the store too. And of course the tasting and charcuterie board were a fantastic experience. I loved the cheeses and almonds they had. We had the option of deviating from the tasting menu. But everything we tasted was great! I think you can also bring your own snacks. It's a great winery experience. Nothing for praise for Cline Cellars. The day we went it looks like they were setting up a wedding later in the day. But that didn't negatively impact our experience at all.

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.

A friend in the industry recommended this place and made our reservation. We were ten min late due to parking/finding the place. The home is in good condition and quite nice inside. Our journey was just through the home, as our tasting was outside. The courtyard style backyard is really nice. Many plants and a few distinct seating areas. There is a bathroom out there and it's super clean and well decorated. The tasting was spectacular. We ordered bottles to be shipped home. We enjoyed the cheese/nut/cracker pairing they included. The tasting was not rushed and we enjoyed sitting in their garden. It was just me and my husband which was nice.

We did not become members because it was the first tasting of our week and we didn't know what we were in for.

They own two iconic vineyards, Durell (famous for its Chardonnay) and Gap's Crown (famous for its Pinot), among others. The property is absolutely stunning - even though it's only a couple blocks off the plaza, it feels like you've been transported away from the hustle and bustle of the main square into a quiet retreat where you can escape the Sonoma heat and enjoy a nice lineup of wines. For me, this is always a solid experience, albeit on the pricier side for the area, but a couple of things would go a long way to improving the experience. (1) Making reservations is a pain, which involves submitting a request, waiting to hear back from someone in the tasting room, then using a payment link sent to you to confirm the booking. For a winery offering such an elevated tasting experience (and price point), you'd think they would be able to support live availability and instant booking like basically all other wineries in the area. Additionally, they made kind of a big deal about getting the names of everyone in the party, but then never once greeted us by name. (2) The tasting experience itself felt a lot more hands off and our host didn't seem as knowledgeable. This was immediately after Auteur, where the host was incredibly knowledgeable about the various vineyard sources and pretty much all aspects of the vinification process, so perhaps our expectations were a bit elevated. Still, it kind felt as if the wines were poured, a brief (and basic) explanation given, then we were on our own to enjoy the wines. We may have been checked in on only a couple of times over 2 hours. (3) Purchasing wine is just as frustrating as making a reservation. This is insane IMO. They can't swipe a card so instead, we have to write all of this down on a slip to be processed later? It just feels antiquated and if I'm to be 100% honest, not all that secure. In terms of value, you get essentially 5 tasting pours - 1 rose, 2 chards, 2 pinots, which IMO, isn't a great value at $85/tasting. Compare this with Auteur where for $60, we had 1 rose, 3 chards, and 4 pinots :)
