Napa Valley

Apoc,

I agree that the Sonoma vibe is definitely less commercial than Napa (Napa has changed a lot in just the past few years) and has a ton of great wineries. I personally think Napa still has the edge, but especially on weekends, tasting in Sonoma is a lot more relaxed and fun. The only drawback is that I feel Napa has a lot more really good wineries in a pretty concentrated area, whereas the best ones in Sonoma are a little spread out. Anyhow, to your point, I rarely go to Napa on a weekend anymore, just way too crowded.

You mentioned Trentadue in Sonoma. Very close to there are Robert Young, Clos Du Bois, Stryker Sonoma, and Jordan. All places I really like.

Diablo,

The gf and I have done Clos du Bois and Robert Young, but haven't hit up Stryker and Jordan yet. We'll have to visit those the next time we're there. We go up as frequently as we can, so feel free to drop me a note if you're ever looking for some folks to tour around with.
