+--- Thread: 1st time visit to San Fran. Napa or Sonoma Valley? (/thread-18517.html)
- Nina - 07-29-2001
Hi,
I will be in San Fran in a couple of weeks (first time visit) but I will only have a day or two to visit either Napa or Sonoma. I think we'll be renting a car but I don't know which one to visit, Napa or Sonoma. I am knew to wine (I don't even know which kind I like yet) but I would like to get some input on where I will enjoy the most and get the most out of.
Thanks,
Nina

Nina,Welcome to the board, there's really no choice. Because it's still mostly rural and spread out over 30 times the land mass of Napa, Go to Napa.If you rent a car and are staying in S.F, take 101 hiway across the Golden Gate Bridge and about 35 miles up the road you'll see the Napa/Sonoma turnoff. Follow the well-marked road and about 20 miles further you' come to a signal light,well-marked, that says Napa left.Jes' follow that sucker past the outskirts of the city of Napa and in a few more miles you'll hit Yountville. From there on you'll see winery tasting room after tasting room. If'n you don't get some idea what type fits your pistol from all that they'll pour you, then you must go back to drinkin' beer. Have fun and Enjoy!. WW
