I really prefer Sonoma county to Napa, as it's generally more laid back, and the tasting fees are a lot less, and you don't need reservations. That said, there are of course great wineries in both valleys and it's cool to live so close to such great wine! Yountville has 3 of my very favorite restaurants, so I still end up in both areas frequently. With the fall colors coming up I will be going to take pictures again up there very soon.
We've gravitated toward Napa, but mainly because I have a long-term friend living in St. Helena. He's selling that property and moving full time to Sarasota, FL, so I'll probably branch out, with more trips to Sonoma.
