Thomas George Estates is one of the newest wineries on Westside Road, opening in 2008 on the site of the oldest (Davis Bynum). Like its predecessor, Thomas George focuses on the key varietals of the Russian River appellation, chardonnay and pinot noir, though a handful of other varietals are offered as well. Owner Jeremy Baker acknowledges the contributions of the Bynum family to help take their traditions and legacy forward.

Until the still-developing winery reaches its stride, the main attraction is the tasting facility -- a newly completed large stone building opposite a dramatic barrel cafe. The cave doubles as the tasting room on weekends (Fri - Mon), though the main tasting room is tasteful and roomy. The grounds are exceedingly well maintained and designed, with picnic areas, nature walks and statuary. Several guest houses are available for vacation rentals.
