The nasty weather on the East Coast today is reminding me of Sonoma, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Last time I was there, we were chased out of our wine tastings by mudslides -- luckily not before we had a chance to stop at Benziger Family Winery, a biodynamic farm with a fabulous and cheap tractor tour ($10). They even provide wool blankies if it's rainy and freeeeezing. My favorite tidbit: In lieu of icky pesticides, they breed bug-eating bugs to kill off the plant-eating bugs. My favorite grape: The 2004 North Coast Sauvignon Blanc. My favorite gadget: GPS, which is nice when the roads you know are flooded.
All this rain makes me want vino.
