Napa vs. Sonoma

I just received an email from an old friend. He admitted that while he goes to Napa several time a year, he never goes to Sonoma County. Here was my response:

I will never understand why people are so enamored by Napa vs Sonoma.

Here is the comparison:

1)      Brand

·         Napa’s brand is auto parts.

·         Sonoma County’s brand is good food, beer, wine and lifestyle.

2)      Borders

·         Sonoma County has a beautiful coastline.

·         Napa County abuts Solano County.

3)      History

·         Fort Ross, Sonoma Mission, Bear Flag Revolt, General Vallejo’s adobe

·         History??

Sonoma County rocks!
