Thanks to all of you who helped us with suggestions and with our planning. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. We are very excited.
Hope everyone has a lovely week, and I'll be sure to post on our travels upon our return.

We're back and had a wonderful time. Alas, today we're also back to work. So, I'll try to get some notes done for posting this evening. Because of time constraints (and because a 30-minute or hour-long tour and tasting can easily turn into 2-hour plus visit), we "only" had time for the following wineries: Scherrer, Lynmar, Swan, Martinelli, Russian Hill, Porter Creek, Rochioli, Selby, Thumbprint, Papapietro Perry, Amphora, Duckhorn, August Briggs, Frank Family, Casa Nuestra, Harvest Moon, Siduri/Novy, Saintsbury, Acacia, and Casa Carneros. Some were by special appointment, some were visits that turned into special appointments, and some were the plain 'ole tasting room stops. The last winery was just a personal visit over glasses of wine around their home dining room table. Some wineries we went out there looking for, and some turned out to be wonderful discoveries. Only a couple small disappointments. Again, though, I'll try and get some notes done tonight, which I'll post in the travel thread below.

Can't wait to view your notes. I'm still hoping to visit Sonoma in October but may not have enough money saved for the trip.
