Mid November In Wine Country

It's been almost a year and this is my second post.  Not exactly a commitment to consistency.  I will try to be a little more reliable in the coming year.

This is Thanksgiving week.  The elections are over.  It's time to get back to everyday life - whatever that means.

The weather in wine country today is rainy but even in the rain I love it here.  Here it is mid November and this weekend it's supposed to be in the 70s.  What's not to love? 

Lynmar Estate - tasting room Sebastopol

Keller Estate - Petaluma California
For those of you that live outside of the area - California wine country, at least for most of us that live in the area, consist of Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino and to a lesser extent, Lake County.

Vineyards and wineries and winery tasting rooms are as varied as the as the topography will allow.  I don't drink - so I guess I have missed out on the major portion and product of what these counties provide.  But I do accompany friends and family as we travel to the various wineries and tasting rooms showing off what the county has to offer.  I usually volunteer to be the designated driver and that's fine with me.  As my travel companions enjoy the tastings, I get to continually take in how the area has transformed over the years and mostly for the better.

There are over 500 wineries in Sonoma County alone - so there is no running out of places to visit.  If you get out this way - give me a call and I will either take you around to some of my favorite spots or at least point you in the right direction.
