Dana,

You're right--I was thinking of Phillips Farms on Hwy 12.  Took it from
Sonoma area to I5.  The mailing address is Lodi but I don't recall
exactly how close it is.

Although both Mary and I enjoy wine and have, possibly, discerning
palettes (we're ChileHeads after all!), our knowledge of wine and the
wine producing areas is limited.  I recall being quite surprised at the
quality, and awards, the wines this central valley vineyard had gleaned.
They have a nice Syrah, too, iirc.
