Merryvale Vineyards - St. Helena, California
Merryvale Vineyards was the first winery built in Napa Valley following the repeal of Prohibition. Merryvale produces about 10,000 cases of wine a year, consisting of both Bordeaux, Burgundian and Rhone varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Viognier, and Syrah. Their most notable and highly acclaimed wine is called Profile, a proprietary red blend using Bordeaux varietals.

Whetstone : California Wine with Tony
Located in downtown Napa, Whetstone Wine Cellars was started by Jamie Whetstone after six and a half-years of training in vineyards and wineries.
The cellars produce Pinot Noir, Syrah, Viognier, and Chardonnay using the six types of grapes grown in Napa and Sonoma.
Guests can enjoy lunch in both the downtown cellar and the winery's tasting room.
Kendall-Jackson's Sonoma County Vineyards
Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and Napa Valley, Sonoma County is blessed with a versatile landscape which is strongly influenced by maritime variations. The county enjoys cool nights and days that rarely get hot, due to the fog that creeps from the ocean into the interior valley through spots like the Petaluma Wine Gap and the Russian River. Sonoma’s most interesting geological feature is the Mayacamas Mountain Range, which runs along the border between Lake, Napa and Sonoma counties. This range was created many years ago by violent tectonic upheavals of the coastal plates and now provides a shield for the county’s warmer AVA’s such as Alexander Valley and Knights Valley.

Napa Residents Work to Save What's Left Behind
(10 Oct 2017) Napa residents that came back to find their homes saved, use fire from a swimming pool to put out any spot fires, so another raging wildfire doesn't engulf them.
Resident Mark Hyatt was surprised his home was spared.
There was this huge roar of the flames, and that's when I knew you're out of here you know, said Hyatt.
I was kind of resigned to the fact that this was going to be gone. When I left then I would basically have nothing here you know. So this is kind of a shock that the house is still here.
Hyatt and a friend were using a neighbor's pool to fill up containers of water to put out fires still burning around his home.

The tasting room is on Highway 29. They are across from Louis M Martini and their own very large production facility. The wines are a wide mix and the grapes are often from other regions which makes this a refreshing break from Cab crazy Rutherford.
