A short drive from Linden Vineyards is Fox Meadow Winery. This winery probably has one of the best views in the area and rivals what you would see if you hiked a mile on skyline drive. They're situated about 1700ft above sea level. It's a very nice set-up with a large wrap around deck that overlooks the stunning views.
Fox Meadow updates their tasting menu week-to-week which makes it a good option to keep coming back. Another nice thing they do is that they pair their wines with recommended foods. Granted it's a morsel of food, but still it's nice to have a pairing to bring out the flavor of the wine. They definitely get creative with their pairings as well (think rice krispy treats).
WINE REVIEW FOR FOX MEADOW WINERY
Chardonnay 2006
Nose: floral, fruity, honeysuckle, pear
Taste: floral, fruity, butter, fig, pear, zippy
This Chardonnay has a brightness that dances on your tongue. It's steel barrel fermented but still has the big bold flavor of a chardonnay that's been fermented in old, french oak.
