My brother worked for a winery for a while, and lived on a winery in Healdsburg for another while. Love the wine country (but many argue that Sonoma wines are better–or at least Sonoma is ‘better’ because it’s got less tourism hype than Napa.
Love Napa Valley. Last year we rode the wine train, which is a marvelous way to see the Valley and enjoy good food and great wine in comfort and out of traffic. Poetry in motion.

The beginning of my WIP is set in Napa Valley. Love that place. Thanks for the photos. Thank you Lee for all the information you give us. Lynette
Loved the pictures, Lee. I live about 60 miles away, on the edge of the huge wine-grape growing area of the San Joaquin Valley (think Mondavi, Gallo and better than 100 smaller wineries). Tons of the grapes grown here end up at Napa Valley wineries, and in my latest mystery, Labeled for Death, field workers are found dead…tucked up under the vines. It’s a tale of passion for wine and greed set against some of the history of California wines.

Sorry we missed you, Lee. Looks like you had a stellar event!
Been there, too, Terry. I do think, however, the scenery and charm is a bit more appealing in Napa.

Gorgeous pics but what if you want your wine to result in Barry White music instead of poetry? Can you not go to Napa?
