They use 5% of their grapes and sell 95%.

500 barrels (each barrel contains 60 gallons). Their label design is nice. … And I learnt for the very first time that Europe law allows wine to add sugar while US does NOT.

At about the same time, a cycling group was having their function. The bikers look, some of them, in need of more exercise. The extra thing on the bike – cheating?

El Dorado Kitchen

405 1st St W,
Sonoma, CA 95476

Nicely decorated restaurant (next to the Girl & the Fig), in the charming town square. Good service and decent food. We brought two bottle of wine, one white and one red. My review on trip advisor – should be 4 stars.

Three of us ordered paella. I found the rice was saggy and part of it was crispy. The shrimps were over cooked. However, the other two loved it.

I don’t eat enough paella to judge if this is the new method of cooking it. When I was in Spain, all the paella was cooked to my liking. As a Chinese, I consume enough rice to know what I like. It reminds me of the rice at the Tribeca Grill – half cooked.

Their bread isn’t good. Regret I didn’t bring the free bread to dinner. Trip Advisor
