Leaving tomorrow for Sonapanoma

[dananne]

We're back and had a wonderful time. Alas, today we're also back to work. So, I'll try to get some notes done for posting this evening. Because of time constraints (and because a 30-minute or hour-long tour and tasting can easily turn into 2-hour plus visit), we "only" had time for the following wineries: Scherrer, Lynmar, Swan, Martinelli, Russian Hill, Porter Creek, Rochioli, Selby, Thumbprint, Papapietro Perry, Amphora, Duckhorn, August Briggs, Frank Family, Casa Nuestra, Harvest Moon, Siduri/Novy, Saintsbury, Acacia, and Casa Carneros. Some were by special appointment, some were visits that turned into special appointments, and some were the plain 'ole tasting room stops. The last winery was just a personal visit over glasses of wine around their home dining room table. Some wineries we went out there looking for, and some turned out to be wonderful discoveries. Only a couple small disappointments. Again, though, I'll try and get some notes done tonight, which I'll post in the travel thread below.
