SingleThread Farms

The wine list at SingleThread lands like a second tasting menu — you need a moment to absorb it. We're talking somewhere north of 2,800 selections spanning California royalty, serious Burgundy, and blue-chip Bordeaux, all inside a 62-seat inn-restaurant in Healdsburg that looks like a Japanese ryokan grew out of a Sonoma farm. This is a wine program that means business.

California and France are the twin engines here, and both fire on all cylinders. On the California side you've got Kistler, Aubert, Marcassin, Williams Selyem, Hirsch, Ridge Monte Bello, Sine Qua Non, and Pax — basically a who's who of the state's finest producers, not a filler bottle in sight. The Burgundy shelf reads like a collector's fever dream: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Leroy, and Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet sitting alongside each other without irony. Bordeaux brings Château Pétrus and Château Margaux to the table, and the list holds a Wine Spectator Grand Award since 2021 — an honor that's earned, not assumed.

With around 20–30 pours available by the glass, SingleThread gives you enough rope to build a proper multi-wine progression across a multi-course kaiseki meal — which is exactly the point. The glass program skews toward producers already represented in the cellar, so you're not getting a consolation-prize pour while the good stuff stays bottled. Rotation details aren't publicly listed, but with six sommeliers on the floor, expect the glass selection to shift with the season and the kitchen.
