“I have been tasting on Sonoma square for well over a decade. I visited once and had a cancellation and scrambled to find a substation last minute and found this new tasting room. I knew nothing about their brand. What a wonderful treat I stumbled upon. This is the passion project of Tom and Ashley Darling. They started with a little Syrah back in 2017 and it was raved about by Thomas Keller himself. Who has their first vintage in TKs spots? Since then, TK continues to buy a lot of their wine for places like the French Laundry and when you taste them, you’ll realize that the Darlings are not just a cute couple. They have dialed in the low alcohol, minimal intervention style without grinding for decades like many others. I became an instant fan and I pour their wines to impress my friend regularly. Amaze-balls!”
