Roshambo Winery was born of the simple idea that serious wines became, well, a little too serious. It's the brainchild of maverick Wine Hero Naomi Brilliant, granddaughter of the late and great Sonoma County grape grower, Frank Johnson. read more...Our small, independent winery was named after the West Coast slang for the ancient children's game, "Rock, Paper, Scissors," and with our annual RPS Tournaments, Pirate Proms and Roshambustops, we like to think we are fighting for fun in a winey world.

Buut... it's important to note that while we take pride in our storied history of creative branding, we know that it's what's inside the bottle that really counts. We have to appeal to your palates and senses as much as your spirit. Because no matter how slickly we package the stuff, we know we can't pull the wool over the oenophile's eyes... nor can we lure the beer and booze set to the Other Side of the Vine with a bogey in the bottle. The whole point of this adventure was to welcome a new crowd of people to the party - Gen-Xers , Boomers, Millenials and Unidentifiables alike - by providing a disarmingly fun context in which to encounter serious wine. Our offerings have been fortunate enough to catch critical praise - most recently, in Wine Enthusiast's March '08 Buying Guide (FJV Syrah: 93 Points, Reverend Zinfandel: 92 Points, "Rock" Rhone Blend: 90 Points). Though... we don't think you should buy a wine just because so and so says so.    (hide)

Ordered a glass of this at a nice Restaurant and had pretty high expectations. I was really enticed by a very nice pear on the nose. Unfortunately the alcohol was really coming through (and the wine was served quite cold)...

A friend and I decided to see wine country while it was just about harvest ... and have lunch, then hit Roshambo. Every map we had, provided awful directions, so we never found it. We instead, went up to Ferrari Carano....

I normally like 'big' wines, but to me this one managed to be both big and shallow at the same time. Very spicy, but not that complex. I'm glad I got it on sale. (But my husband really liked it, so maybe try it for...

Like the previous Reverends, this one does not disappoint. Well made. Great Zin berry type fruit. Goes extremely well with grilled lamb.

Hi Greg, I'm not sure about "best" place for wine by the glass, but wineries ... stuff) and the "infamous" Roshambo Winery (their quirky, but effective wine marketing is not to be missed! ) Check out their website...
