Wine Country

---

6 April 2010

We turned inland and had a look at the Californian Wine Country along the Russian River, Sonoma and Napa Valleys. The Sonoma and Nappa valleys are flat, surrounded by attractive hills and almost completely filled with vineyards. There are many opportunities for wine tasting but we sampled only one run by a friendly Australian winemaker, Chris Loxton, who made us very welcome at his establishment.

We are staying at Vallejo on the north edge of the San Francisco Bay only 50 miles from the end of our month long 4,000 mile round trip. Tomorrow we fly home.
