So this day didn’t start off as planned. We flew into Oakland which always has worked out for us, but not this time. We landed at 9:30 and by 12:30 we had gone less than 20 miles. I’ll skip past the rest of our frustrating morning but know that is why we only ended up going to 2 wineries. We were meeting my parents in Napa and they had to carry one while we sat in traffic. They visited Robert Keenan on Spring Mountain. …

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 …

I have not lived in California for very long.  When I moved here I thought I would love the beaches and sun.  But as it turns out- its the wine that has really made me love California.  Sure the beaches and sun are great but the wine to me is much more unique.
I am starting this site to help the new comers to California as San Diego has its fare share of comers and goers.  I have been to Temecula many times and now to Northern California (Sonoma, Napa) twice.  …
