Napa & Sonoma Wine Country
As winemaking in the Napa Valley grows ever more dizzyingly upscale, the neigh-
boring Sonoma Valley's sun-dappled vineyards are still surrounded by pastoral
ranchlands. Yet they share a common passion for the uniqueness of
terroir
. Here
in California's best-known wine country, you can take a tour of biodynamic vine-
yards, shake hands with famous winemakers or sample new vintages from the
barrel in naturally cooled underground cellars, then crack open a bottle in the
fields outside. Who cares if it's not noon? This is California: conventions need not
apply.
