If you're heading to sonoma county then you might as well check out Ruth McGowans in Cloverdale too. It's a really chill joint with some good brews. I know the brewer there...nice guy.

Little beer shop in Rhonert Park
Are you talking about Beer Craft on Commerce. Great place. They also keep about a half dozen or so on tap. Also if you go to Lagunitas you can hit 3 breweries all withing a 100 yard walk. 101 North and Petaluma Hills (two upstarts) are right across the street. Partial to Lagunitas, started going there when they first opened and the tasting room was a ratty-arse old couch in a small room above the brewery. Also because my son works there and I enjoy his discount.

Beer Craft is it! And I bought enough beer that he boxed them all up and shipped them to me the following week. And cool little bar in the back. Owner found out where we were from and he started whipping out bottles of everything from Mexican Cake to BCBS out of his personal collection and pouring them up. Good times.

Glad I made this thread. Appreciate all the help!

Oxbow is definitely a must do. My wife and I visited there twice. Just grab a beer or glass of wine and walk around. Great selection of drinks and eats (get the duck bahn mi sandwich at The Kitchen Door). Parking seemed like a pain, so we just walked across the bridge from downtown.
Went to Billco's for pre dinner beers one night. Pretty cool place with the best selection of craft beer in Napa (that I saw). Ask about the secret cooler in the back.
Other restaurants in Napa that I would suggest are Bounty Hunter BBQ and Grace's Table. Did not check out Downtown Joe's as it just seemed really dead every time we passed by.
RR and Lagunitas were easy to do in the same day. Enjoyed the hell out of both of them. I would suggest going to RR first, since the crowd seemed to grow exponentially in the 2-3 hours that we were there.
