Sheldon Winery
Sheldon Winery: “The Wine WARRIORS! Listen to the music, Enjoy the journey, Drink the wine.” Dylan was just about to put this sign up on the building when I snapped it….
Sheldon Winery, on Santa Rosa’s Vintners’ Square, sharing space with Krutz Family Cellars, is a true, romantic micro-winery adventure. Tobe, “Fearless Leader & Resident Wino”, and Dylan Sheldon, “Chief Alchemist & Barrel Monkey”, epitomize romance- and have made their winery dreams come true, producing very small lots, under 1000 cases produced annually. Tobe Sheldon, also the Founder of The Sippy Room, (aka, sometimes, the Sippy Lounge) expresses it better nor I:
Unfiltered and un-fined because sterile wines have no soul. It’s just me, Dylan and the dingos. We are a micro-winery. Hand harvested, foot stomped, basket pressed, hand bottled and hand labeled. Quality control experienced nightly! Cheers, Tobe

A more whimsical versions of the Sheldons….
The Dirt, The Juice (chardonnay, viognier, pinot noir, Vinolocity, petite sirah- from carefully chosen, distinct vineyards), The Club, The Shenanigans…the humor and affection of the Sheldons is evident in every pour….
The beginnings….
The Life….
Alive, Awake, Free….Most Likely Delusional….with words like that to live by, the journey will always be joyous.
Awesome chair at the Sippy Room….
The Sippy Room has the only bed in a Tasting Room setting that I have ever seen- and I have seen many, as I am Wine Time TR….
A major Wine Work in Progress.
The TR is wrapped in the working winery….
Here’s looking at you, kids.

The Weatherly Cuvee Image- I have it on a favorite glass that holds pencils and pens on my Wine Road River Office desk. It was created by Tobe’s mother….I just love this image….
