Sonoma Valley
What it grows and why it matters
The original Sonoma. The mission, the plaza, the oldest vineyards in the state. A day here feels like the history of California wine in one drive. Everything — Pinot to Zin, the cradle of California wine. Chris knows this region because he grew up in Santa Rosa and has been driving these roads for ten years. He picks producers he has a relationship with, not the ones that pay a commission.
