An extension of the family’s vineyards on Howell Mountain, northeast of Saint Helena, the tasting room in downtown Larkspur is dedicated to the family’s wines. Owner and Head Winemaker, Angelo Pera makes a chardonnay and a pinot noir from the Russian River Valley but the rest of the lineup is Napa Valley cabernet sauvignons, rosé, sauvignon blanc and others. “What makes us unique is our approach to modern winemaking and our ability to make super-premium wines that you won’t be able to find anywhere else,” Pera says. Try them at the U-shaped bar or while ensconced in the patio’s large lounge chairs, preferably with a plate of balsamic-roasted beets or bites of roasted pork in tortilla cups.
