There are dozens of wineries and each one offers something different. You can plan a tour around: Wine History Wine Making Good Reds Good Whites As an example, I've already seen the tours and I like to taste good cab/zin/chard. I'd do the following: Robert Mondovi Cakebread Stags Leap Silver Oak Heitz Schramsberg Sterling Guenoc (Lake County) Chateau St Jean (whites - Sonoma) Good wine tours might include: Korbel Beringer Sterling Buena Vista - history Christian Bros - history Ask anyone else and you'll get a different list. Oh yes, if you want good prices, go the the liquor barn in San Jose. The only deals you get at wineries are on the wines you can't buy anywhere else anyway. Sharon Lacy Lacy@HP-VENUS
