Pinot Chardonnay Puns

I know a variation of this question has been asked a million times before, sorry in advance.

My husband and I got a last minute opportunity to visit family in Healdsburg in mid July. We have limited time as we’ll be working from home some days and have family activities planned, but we did manage to set up a couple appointments - Ridge (we’re members), Williamson Wines (saw that suggested on other threads), and Iron Horse (for sparkling). I’d like to set up one more tasting that focuses specifically on Pinot Noir and/or Chardonnay. The amount of options is overwhelming, so I’m hoping those with more experience might have some suggestions. The criteria I guess would be super close to Healdsburg since we don’t have much time, and hopefully not more than $30 pp (not a deal breaker, but last minute flights & car rental were brutal.)

Thanks! Always appreciate the advice of this subreddit, I’ve learned a lot.

Got two 6.6-gal buckets of grape must from my local winemaker wholesale store & after the first day I noticed a bit of growth at the top of the liquid, but figured it was just skins rising up. Now after two days, the buckets look like this and both buckets have a faint smell of eggs... I was planning on moving them to a carboy today but now I'm hesitant. Any saving this batch? I have my doubts.

Abit of preliminary resarch led me to Giaconda By Farr Mount Mary Bass Phillip What are the opinions of this sub on these (and others)

Advice wanted for a home wine making starting to make sparkling wines over the next few years. I initially planned to use a Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and have planted the Noir already under cover. I now think it will be better with a Pinot Meunier vine instead.

Im in SE England so a cooler climate for grapes but will have decent sun and shelter. Any advice and ideas welcome.

Sorry, I don't know why I'm being so whiny this morning.
