“Bianca is an amazing wine guide! She has worked at some of the finest establishments in Sonoma county and it shows. The depth of her knowledge on how the wines are farmed, produced and blended is extensive and I learn something new every time we visit with her. But her hospitality is what truly sets her apart. She will totally tailor the experience to what you're looking for. Our last visit I just agreed with her on a general program and she chose all the wines - many of which were under the radar or things I'd never had - paired them perfectly with some snacks and hosted an incredible afternoon. She's funny, engaging and a first-class hospitality professional. I can't recommend her highly enough if you're exploring CA wine country for the first time or you're a seasoned vet.”
