A wine bar and wine club a few blocks east of the Plaza, built around sommelier Todd Jolly's list of world-renowned wines and top spirits under a full liquor license. A marketplace and deli round out the space, and four cottages offer an overnight retreat. Easy and community-minded.



1190 E Napa St



Sonoma's Best is the "modern mercantile" a few blocks east of the Plaza on East Napa Street: a wine shop, wine bar, deli, coffee stop, and neighborhood gathering place rolled into one. It's built around sommelier Todd Jolly, known around town as "The Champagne King," whose curated list has been voted the best place to buy wine in Sonoma.
Jolly's selection runs to hyper-local, small-production Sonoma bottles (many too tiny to leave the county) alongside global finds and top spirits under a full liquor license. Come for a Thursday-night themed flight, a glass at the bar, the Tasting Society wine club, or a private sommelier session; linger in the garden, gather deli provisions, or stay over in one of the four cottages.
