WW, when was the first time you visited

[andrawes76]

Mine was also in '02. Just decided to go educate myself and found my heels in Sonoma. There is one really cool, historical figure left in Napa (at least to my knowledge). That's Dick Peterson. Dick is a really nice guy, very laid back and full of energy. Jackie told me he's got wine flowing thru his veins. He's got a nice vineyard on the west side of the valley floor growing a mutant strain of Pinot Noir he discovered and cloned from England (who knew England had grapes). Fun stuff and definitely the last time I went there in April to visit Jackie was the most fun I have ever had. Took a ride in Bing Crosby's '72 Rolls Shadow, drank and ate like no other.
