I contacted this tasting room to place an order on wine on sale. First, I chatted with Carolyn who was not too customer service oriented. She happens to be the owner of this tasting room from what I found. Then, I inquired on placing an order. She told me they do all their sales through email or by customers leaving their credit card and other details on vmail. This wasn't how I wanted to place my order for security and accuracy. So, I emailed Carolyn and I never heard back from her. Needless to say, I won't be placing my order. Maybe it's best this way. Others trying to contact this wine seller might have better luck than I had. I won't pursue this wine seller.…

This is painful to hear when we are all doing our best while being closed since March, dealing with COVID and fire evacuations etc. I certainly apologize if the resulted in the poor customer service you reference in your review. Due to the fact we have had to lay off all of our employees we do ask that customers email us with their order details to insure accuracy and I am not always available to chat as I hae=ve been in the past much as I would like to be. I certainly hope you will reconsider your words and continue to support us during these trying times. If you would like to reach out to me personally I will send you one of my current favorite wines to make up for the inconvenience you experienced. carolynlewis@gmail.com

I purposely sought this place out and am glad I did. This is a really need place to check out, which allows you to try from various smaller boutique wineries that you likely wouldn't have the chance to try otherwise. Seems locals mainly visit here, but also I'd recommend a visit here if you're strapped for time (which let's be honest, there's never enough time if you're on holiday) In anycase, the staff know their stuff about the numerous wines (of which there are a lot!) with styles and prices ranging from entry level to premium. There's bound to be something at your price-point. So yes, if visiting Sonoma, make sure to stop here if you're into smaller boutique, terroir driven wines.…

This collective – the first of its kind in California – represents local, small production wineries that can’t afford the overhead of operating their own tasting rooms. Here you can taste what I call a “horizontal” (as opposed to a “vertical” – which is different vintages of the same wine); at Locals you can compare the same varietal produced by different winemakers. Aided by the incredibly knowledgeable people behind the bar, this makes it possible to better understand the particular preferences of your palate. The space itself is an eclectic mix of tasting bar with cases of wine piled high, showroom for local artists and display of vintage clothing and accessories. Tasting here is always complimentary.…

So glad you enjoyed your time at Locals and your “horizontal” tasting. In our opinion it’s the only way to truly find what you like! Hope to see you again soon.

We drove up from Healdsburg for a day of tasting---with a designated driver--to Geyrserville, an old-fashioned country town where the gentrifiers appear not to be too active. The Locals tasting room is a place where there are many different wines to taste. Patrick, the host, led us through about forty different ones from 15 or so wineries. We put together a varied case to be shipped home to DC where we live. Among the fun things is you might get chance to do is enjoying the company of a local winery owner and his daughter. She had been involved in another of our interests cheese: Cow Girl Creamery which had a store on F Street in Washington, DC, many years ago. We are looking forward to tasting Dick Handel's sagrantino wine--it grows in Umbria and on five acres in California. Those are its only homes!…

We came looking for a winery that is no longer there....Carolyn invited us in and it just went from there. Patrick poured some great wines for us and then we also met Enzo Torano, winemaker, and fell in love with his wines. I had never EVER bought a Syrah....being a fan of cabs and blends. Neither would I normally spend more than 30-35 dollars. And there you have it, I just did! Great service. Great wines. You will find your favorite guaranteed. Thank you again guys! Dasha and Curtis.…
