SHOT 3/1/2007-3/6/2007 -Trip to San Francisco, Ca. Also including Sonoma County vineyards with mustard growing in between the dormant vines.Sonoma County has rich agricultural land, albeit now largely divided between two nearly monocultural uses: grapes and pasturage. Winemaking?both the growing of the grapes and their vinting?is an important part of the economic and cultural life of Sonoma County.The most common varieties planted are Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir, though the area is also known for its Merlot and Zinfandel. Sonoma County is home to more than 250 wineries with eleven distinct and two shared American Viticultural Areas, including the Sonoma Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley, Bennett Valley and Dry Creek Valley, the last of which is known for the production of high-quality zinfandels..(Photo by Marc Piscotty © 2007)
