So my family is going to Sonoma and Napa for the first time together.  My husband and I have been a couple of times.  We spend most of our time in Sonoma but usually one day in Napa.  There are so many neat wineries in both counties that is hard to decide which to visit.  One of our favorites in Napa last trip was Pride on Spring Mountain.  We are planning to visit Spring Mountain again this trip since my parents have toured any wine caves.  We also will be at Chateau Montlena this trip.  We are members there and are looking forward to our first visit since joining.  Above all though you know what I am kind of the most excited about?  Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen!!  It’s in downtown st Helena and has some typ eo crazy homemade marshmallow pie.

Sonoma plans are still up in the air although we will be revisiting a few of our faves: Iron Horse, KJ Wine Center, and Joseph Swan.  The rest will most likely be new adventures in Alexander Valley and Mountain and maybe a few more in the Russian River area.  We have done quite a few in Dry Creek in the past.  For food in Sonoma, there are so many places I look forward returning to: Dry Creek General Store, Zin, Bovolo, and Willow Wood.
