Recently, I had a chance to spend the day with my colleague and friend, Lizzie Bermudez, host of the new show Bay Area Life on ABC in San Francisco. She and I had a raucous, rapid-fire visit to five tasting rooms to sample delicious vino (with a little bocce ball thrown in). We kicked off at The Winery SF sampling with winemaker, Bryan Kane.
There are a handful of other urban wineries to visit if you’re in the San Francisco area, but make sure to sample the myriad of vinous treasures on the island.
