That's why I much prefer Sonoma to Napa...

...for wine tasting.
It's like the Napa Valley was maybe 15 years ago before it turned into wall-to-wall winery Disneyland.
In Sonoma, things are more spread out among the vinyards and you're much more likely to meet the winemaker pouring in the tasting room and hear about his passion for making what he does and how he got there.
Like seeing a band live instead of just hearing their CD.
And I hear the Paso Robles wine area is even better.
I've drank a lot of Green and Red over the years - their Chiles Mill zin alwys scores pretty high. A knowledgeable salesman in a local wineshop recommended the latest vintage to me a couple of weeks ago, but I picked up a couple of others instead.
I'll try it and let you know.
