Elizabeth Spencer Winery provided a delightful visit thanks to friendly staff and very good wines that are reasonably priced by Napa Valley standards. Marshall was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really liked the Elizabeth Spencer 2010 Sauvignon Blanc, organically grown in Mendocino and only $16 a bottle. The Elizabeth Spencer 2007 Wente Clone Chardonnay was fairly good as was the Elizabeth Spencer 2008 Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast. The Elizabeth Spencer 2008 Merlot from Knights Valley was quite decent at $36 as was the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Our favorite, though, was the Elizabeth Spencer 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, "The Guardian" ($60) which was very good. Elizabeth Spencer is a small winery just off Highway 29 that is well worth a visit. You can have lunch at the wonderful Italian restaurant, Alex, which is across the street.
