Sutter Home Winery in St. Helena, Napa Valley, California










Today we visit St. Helena
in Napa Valley.








Eric and I brought our upstate New York wine tasting experience to California.  Over the years, we have experienced complimentary tastings at many wineries.  The most we have spent per person is $5.00.  Tasting three wines for $20.00 or more, is an experience we have chosen to skip during our visit.  Local welcome centers and Chambers of Commerce have a selection of wine tasting coupons from area wineries.  Spending a few minutes on research provides a plan for our day.

delight.
