Sonoma and Napa Valley Ca August 2014

We had a wonderful time last week in Sonoma & Napa Valley, Ca.  We roamed through 3 wonderful Vinyards  in one day.  We started off at Raymond's Vineyard,  Pine Ridge Vineyards, and Trefethen Family Vineyards.  We hadn't planned to do Raymond.  Our driver got the names on the list mixed up, but it wound up being a great experience, and they were happy to have us. Raymond is a whimsical vineyard outside, and inside is all stainless steel industrial feel.  You almost feel like your in at a night club.  

Pine Ridge was very laid back.  We sat outside it was warm, but not too warm mid 80's by the time we got there.  I really had a hard time picking my favorite wines, all tasted so good even the Zin which I'm not particularly a fan of.   

 Trefethen had also had great wines.  I loved their Chardonnay, and Cab.  It was a beautiful vineyard inside and out.  Almost had a log cabin type feel indoors.  

All in all I enjoyed all three Vineyards.  Here are a couple of pictures of the beautiful landscape, and such.  Enjoy and Cheers!! 

**I hope that all of the Vineyards are okay after the 6.0 Earthquake that happened early this morning.  Prayers to all the families!!**
