RAVE - Farmhouse Inn and Restaurant

I picked this place from various online recommendations when we rented a house near Healdsburg for our anniversary weekend.

The Farmhouse Inn is an un-spectacular building in the otherwise un-spectacular hamlet of Forestville.

Walking in from outside it's like entering Dr Who's Tardis - with the exterior giving no hint of the wonders inside. The decor, the furnishings, the ambience are all country house luxury.

The food was exceptional, and well worth the schlepp up to Sonoma.

I don't know if it was the euphoria surrounding our anniversary, or the super good mood I was in having found this place, but I believe the wine was one of the best I've ever had, a 2005 Vosnes Romanee.
