13 of the tastiest food + Simi Wine pairings to try at local restaurants

Simi Winery in Sonoma has the coolest history, and some of the best everyday wines you can keep stocked in your house or order at a restaurant.

About Simi Wines

Backstory: Simi was one of the first female run wineries in California. Isabelle Simi took over the business at the age of 18 in 1904 when her dad and uncle passed away from influenza. She was a savvy and spunky business woman who saw the winery through earthquakes and Prohibition.

Smart marketing move: Isabelle is credited with opening up the first tasting room. After Prohibition, she handed out wine to passengers on the train that ran past the winery, and told them to return. Her marketing ploy worked.
