With a few exceptions, the big name restaurants in the Palm Beach area tend not to post their wine lists online. The glittering exception is La Sirena, so kudos to them…

San Diego is a fabulous destination for wine as is the case with just about everything else you can do there. Within a half-hour of Torrey Pines, not accounting for any tournament-related traffic, you have an overload of great-sounding options.

It feels somewhat sacrilegious to be writing about wine at the WM Phoenix Open, the PGA Tour’s homage to Oktoberfest. After all, I never see anyone showering the pros on 16 with pinot grigio.

After writing about wine lists in 40+ cities near PGA Tour stops, I’ve stumbled into Wine Nirvana, namely the compact area between Carmel and Monterey.

Like a desert mirage a lot of high end restaurants in the Palm Springs area don’t post their lists online. So we went looking under the desert rocks to see what we could find for you.

After just covering Maui for the Sentry TOC I reset my expectations to the upside for Oahu and the Sony Open in Honolulu.

The 2025 Sentry takes place in a sobered climate a year-and-a-half after the devastating and heartbreaking Lahaina wildfires. It’s no longer the Tournament of Champions, but there’s still a clear wine champion in Maui at Merriman’s. How do they do it?

Here’s an idea. Let’s get the PGA and LPGA tours together and play 3 days of goofy golf in Naples, FL, then maybe drink some good wine.

Our review of the wine scene in the so-called Golden Isles has been immeasurably enhanced through conversations with three accomplished local sommeliers. Sneak peak for golfers: Sea Island Resort (above) still rules.

If you’ve been following me at all through the PGA season, you know I do my homework, which typically involves googling an entire city’s collection of restaurants and stores in search of the best wine.

We had low expectations for a tour stop in Ivins, UT. We weren't disappointed.

If going to Jackson is good enough for Johnny Cash, it’s good enough for us. And judging from the restaurants in Jackson we surveyed, not going would be a mistake.

As noted elsewhere in these pages, California cab is the American golfer’s wine of choice. So when the Tour visits Napa, you better believe there’s great golf-appropriate wine everywhere you turn.

It’s fitting for our mission that the culmination of the PGA Tour and FedEx Cup seasons happens in Atlanta.

The wine action here is all back in Denver...

It is quite possible and actually easy to drink great wine in Scotland if you’re traveling for the Genesis or Open Championship. Avoid the plonk and email the St. Andrews Wine Company now!

You won’t find wine to match the caliber of the golf at Pinehurst, but no reason to break an 8-iron across your knee either…

Louisville is not a wine slugger’s paradise. You’d think between Valhalla and The Derby there’d be at least one category killer restaurant or retailer, but we couldn’t find them. We did find a place you can taste 155 bourbons though…

Awesome wine options, traffic permitting. That’s why we call it Drive For Bor(beaux)…
