The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIGrindstone is the kind of place that makes you forget you have anywhere else to be. Tucked into the Dunnigan Hills of Yolo County, this family-run estate pours small-lot Rhône and Bordeaux varietals in one of Northern California's most genuinely relaxed tasting settings — think park-side tables, live music weekends, and a crowd that actually wants to talk to you. No pretension, no rush. Just good wine and the kind of hospitality that feels earned, not performed.
