Now I’m Asking You for Wine (Country) Advice
Situation
Would like to go on a mini road trip tomorrow. Would like to keep the drive not much longer than 2 hours (from say, San Mateo)
Issues to consider
Places I’ve been that I don’t want to go this time: Napa or Sonoma
Other places I’ve been: Livermore, Healdsburg (very briefly), most wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains–except the most southern ones, couple of tasting rooms in Monterey
Other requirements
should have other fun activites besides winetasting (including, but not limited to, hiking, affordable shopping, ghost sightings)
It seems the places I really want to go are just a little too far (Paso, Amador, Mendocino….) So come on, readers and drinkers. Help a girl out!
wine suggestions, wine country advice

2.5 hours from the peninsula, only a modest amount of lead required!
