- Marin & Solano3 producersMarin & Solano sit within the broad North Coast AVA, alongside Lake, Mendocino, Napa and Sonoma. Geography and climate vary across the appellation, so there is no single regional wine style.
- Mendocino3 producersMendocino moves from coastal Pinot Noir and sparkling wine to inland vineyards with old-vine diversity. Anderson Valley is especially associated with Pinot Noir, as well as Alsace varieties.
- Napa66 producersNapa Valley grows Cabernet Sauvignon on its valley floor and surrounding slopes, while Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and other grapes give you different wines to explore. Bay-influenced Carneros, Rutherford and Howell Mountain introduce some of the geography. Read the place and grape together, then compare the producer’s approach.
- Sonoma15 producersSonoma's 19 AVAs stretch from warmer Cabernet country to cool-climate Riesling, with plenty of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay between. Russian River Valley fog and the bright, moderate style linked to the West Sonoma Coast show the range within the county.
