A great day trip out from San Francisco, best done in your own car but with a designated driver as you may end up having a few too many tastings to be legal for the drive back. I must admit I preferred to visit Sonoma Valley rather than Napa when visiting wine country. It seemed more intimate and had much better scenery. However the wines from both areas were well tried and tested. One of my favourite vineyards is Benzinger, the setting against the old Sonoma Mountain is great and the wine is pretty good too.

Everybody says go see it and with good reason. A visit to ChinaTown is a must while you are in San Francisco. Just what's happening around the streets will enthrall and interest you for hours. It really does seem to catch some of the flavour of China.

To get the best feeling for the size of the Golden Gate then walk across it or at least half way across. From here you get the most wonderful views of San Francisco Bay. the picture shows the view to the north end of the bay. I was trying the panorama feature on the camera which is why its black at the top and bottom.

This is a not unfamiliar scene on the Golden Gate. A damp mist hanging over it. This was taken from the Marin County end of the bridge.

Sonoma township was really lovely & the valley very scenic too, but I equally enjoyed the Napa, but in a different way. San Francisco is my fave U.S. city too, but Chicago & Seattle run a close second. N.Y. is pretty special too! | Jeannette1 Wed May 14, 2003 01:35 UTC
Very nice page. I agree with you about Sonoma. I prefer it to Napa. Jeannette | keeweechic Wed Apr 16, 2003 05:08 UTC
Interesting views on Sonoma vs Napa.. I missed both. Being a lover of Asia, I loved Chinatown. What a shame you missed the invite to the party...lol My favourite US city. | Geisha_Girl Mon Mar 17, 2003 04:01 UTC
Glad to see you made the most of your time during your visit here, Phil. I love the title of this page! The feeling is mutual! ;-> |
