The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIEhren Jordan trained in Burgundy and it shows—these are restrained, layered wines that skip California ripeness for European structure. The tasting happens in what looks like your wine-obsessed uncle's study: jazz on the stereo, bookshelves everywhere, a resident cat named Tubbs. They even make Trousseau, which nobody else in Sonoma bothers with.
About
Failla operates from a property that pairs Northern California drama—wine cave, redwoods, hunting lodge architecture—with a living room intimacy that makes most tasting rooms feel like retail showrooms. Winemaker Ehren Jordan's French training translates to Pinots and Chardonnays built for complexity over power, the kind of wines that reward a second glass more than the first. The wood-paneled tasting space, complete with jazz soundtrack and resident cellar cat, leans into the 'friend's house' vibe multiple reviewers mention. They also produce Trousseau, a Jura varietal almost nobody in California touches. The wine club offers unusual flexibility on bottle selection and ships at prices reviewers call reasonable, which in Sonoma usually means under $50 per bottle.
