Nice posting of SOME of the wine country in Cali. I lived in California for over 27 years, usually within miles of a vineyard, and that was on highway 50 between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe. With over 200 vineyards in that area alone, i suggest finding your favorite bottle through the year and then planning your trip near where it is made.

Great post though, love Monterey, Napa is just too "upturned nose" for me.....

Thank you @darkmrmystic. California is a large state and much to cover. Yes, there are many different areas of wine country.

You could literally do a month long exhibit just on it 😀

I love Lake Tahoe, one of the greatest parts of America in my books!
