Building an itinerary for Aug. Sonoma/Napa trip -- looking for help

[dananne]

It'll be our first trip to Cali wine country (and my first trip to Cali at all!). Through some time on the 'net, including reading posts from the regulars on this board, I've picked the following wineries to consider. In the first section are places we want to visit. The next section are wineries that we might visit, but don't know much (or, in some cases, anything) about. So, please let me know what to move into the "visit" category and what to drop from the list entirely. Some may serve plonk, for all I know.

Planning to visit in Sonoma:
First of all, we are dying to visit Scherrer and Swan -- anyone willing to vouch for us and help us arrange a tour?
Siduri
Martinelli
Papapietro-Perry
Selby
Eric Ross
Marimar-Torres
Dutton-Goldfield
Meitz
Acorn

Considering -- yay or nay?
Flora Springs
Inman Family Vineyards
Quivira
De La Montanya
Buena Vista (go for the history?)
Sterling (go for the views?)
Arista
Nalle
Preston Vineyards
Peterson Winery
Porter Creek
Russian Hill
Sappphire Hill
Longboard
Murphy-Goode
Rochioli
Keller Estate
Armida
Hanna
Fritz Estate
Frick Estate

Planning to visit in Napa:
August Briggs
Bouchaine
ZD

Considering -- yay or nay?
Casa Nuestra
Goosecross Cellars
Jessup Cellars
Summers Estate
Turley Wine Cellars
Kelham Vineyards

Any advice on the above is welcome. Am I forgetting anything? Any additional suggestions for wineries? Also, any suggestions on non-wine things to do are welcome, particularly by Anne [img]http://wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
