I liken it
to city mouse vs country mouse. Sonoma is the country mouse but he’s sure
dressed well. Downtown Napa feels like it has extra gloss - town in
Sonoma while so pretty – has more of a village feel. And to raise a
family, they say it takes a village. Sonoma feels like that, like mama’s opened
her arms and is giving you a big, warm hug, whereas in Napa it feels like all
the mamas are probably in pilates class.
Napa is
gorgeous country. But it has a BIG reputation, and therefore it has to be
a little bit snooty to live up to that, don’t you think? I still think St Helena (in the Napa Valley) - a stunning boutique town - and the Silverado
Trail which is a long road with these huge, gorgeous Napa wineries lined up
side by side is the closest piece of vista heaven in wine country I’ve come across
in California.
