I went to Viansa in Sonoma a few years ago and ended up a member of their club for several years untili the shipping became an issue for me (no one was ever home to sign and they refused to leave it so several shipments got sent back because the UPS man was an ass). They have beautiful blends. One of the owners is the daughter of the Sebastini family. The vineyard is gorgeous and the staff was wonderfully friendly, unlike some of the snottier places I'd visited and walked out of due to haughty attitude. I did the Solo Vino option and used the whites for hostess gifts. I was popular at housewarming parties.

I don't know if it's still an issue, but it was in '04, make sure that the state you live in allows alcohol to be shipped in across state lines. Florida was on that list at the time, but I remember it wasn't that long of a list four years ago.
