    Sierra Mar at Post Ranch is one of those experiences that is best enjoyed with close Family and Friends. It is such a special place. The dinner is a four-course meal with quite a variety of foods. We brought some good wine to pair with it and it worked out well. The cocktails and dessert wines are wonderful. The wine list is extensive, and I would like to have about 30 minutes in their cellar to taste as much as they'll let me!! The view is unbelievable, and the staff are very helpful. We usually go there between my birthday and my wife's birthday. We celebrate it with our children and their significant others. It is so memorable for all of us.
