Just don't drive below the speed limit or you'll annoy the locals. Forget Napa and stick with Sonoma County. One new winery you must check out is Copain, off Eastside Road in the Russian River Valley. Their pinots and syrahs are exquisite. Happy tasting!

Really? I'll drive you. I'll probably be pregnant then, so I'll be sober. I mean, why would you go to California when you could come to Missouri instead? Really? I’ll drive you.

Here are a few tips: We've probably been to Napa 4-5 times, but the most recent trip we went to Sonoma and fell in love. If we went back we'd go to Healdsburg and stay there the entire time. Great restaurants (The Girl and the Fig), great wine (Ledson, J Vineyards and Chateau St. Jean are 3 we visited and we joined all of their wine clubs), and not nearly as crowded as Napa. Definitely hire a drive for at least one day, it was worth the $$ to not worry about drinking and driving. Finally, forget French Laundry you MUST go to Cyrus in Healdsburg. It was by far one of the best meals I've ever had and comparable to our visit to FL at the height of its popularity. Started with champagne and caviar and went up from there. The best was that they have a wine pairing that has top tier wines and if I hadn't been so drunk when we arrived I might have enjoyed it a lot more. LOL! So much more I could share, but this is already turning into a novel. I'll email you if I think of any other tidbits.
