Mount Eden makes some fine wine, however, I have not visited the winery.

On the way to Ridge is Picchetti, which is WELL worth the stop. Take
Freeway
280 to the Foothill Grant Road exit in Cupertino.Travel southwest on
Foothill
Blvd. 3.5 miles (Foothill Blvd. changes names mid-point to Steven's Canyon
Road).You'll travel through a residential section, pass Steven's Creek
County
Park, Stevens Creek Reservoir and Dam. Montebello Road will appear on your
right. Travel up Montebello road 6/10th of mile to Picchetti Winery.Take
the
first left hand turn into Picchetti Winery.

Thanks for the Mount Eden advice. I'll save the Picchetti info for future
reference. The tasting is in Napa, at Copia.

Yes, I see what you wanted now. Seems as how I skimmed (and did a poor job, at
that) the first part of the post. Since Picchetti is not on the list of Copia
Santa Cruz Mtn wineries, do save it. The SCM AVA is full of some wonderful
wines, and wonderful tasting room folk. Matter of fact, we'll often take a
late flight from SFO, just to run down to SCM for some very good, friendly
tastings. Sorry for my mistake there - note to self: work on reading
comprehension!!!!!

Do taste the Mount Eden, as both their whites and reds are very nice, esp. the
Reserve Cabs.
