Christine taking Mike to Sonoma and Napa for an Education

Christine said Mike let's go this year to see the vineyards I grew up with. So as always, I did what Christine said. We booked the trip to Northern California; Napa and Sonoma,Sacramento and San Francisco. We flew into Sacramento, and drove to Sonoma County. This is where I was so in awe of all the vines, I think I saw over 1 billion vines during the trip.

Our first Winery was the Madonna winery, it was about 4 pm and we knew the wineries closed at 5. This winery was founded in 1922 by the Bartolucci Family. It is the third oldest winemaking family in the Napa Valley. You can read about them at http://www.madonnaestate.com/ . We tasted wine at their tasting room, and liked it so much that we purchased some for later.

Our second stop that day was the B.R.Cohn winery. Be sure to follow along with our travels through the Wine Country!
