		<description><![CDATA[Pellegrini Winery is part of the little group of wineries along Olivet Road west of Santa Rosa.  For a quick day trip this route is easy and convenient.  Pellegrini is by appointment only but don&#8217;t let that stop you from making a call.  The grounds and ambiance are nothing special but the family is welcoming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christopher Creek Winery is just south of Healdsburg in the Russian River Valley. It is a small family owned winery with a tiny and rustic tasting room.  We&#8217;ve found that the family and staff are a delight to be with and very helpful. The picnic area is basically in the parking lot and would not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Casa Nuestra is a small old style tasting room on the Silverado Trail in upper Napa Valley.  For those who think that the Napa Valley is highly commercialized this winery (and many others) will give you a shock.  The grounds are more like a small farm than the typical winery and the property is forested [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1978 was the last year of a drought in California.  The vines were stressed as were just about everything living in California then.  A massive fast-track water pipe project that took up lanes of the Richmond Bridge saved Marin from drying up.  Times were tough but when that vintage&#8217;s bottles were opened starting about 1980 [...]]]></description>

However, there are little quiet sleepers throughout the valley. One of these is the River Road working winery on the west side of the valley near Graton.  This is a little family [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So why is Mill Creek in the lower Dry Creek Valley a favorite of ours?  Well, three reasons. One is the always warm and inviting personality at the tasting bar. The other is that we like their flavorful wines. A third reason is that their picnic area next to the water wheel or up on [...]]]></description>
