(Translated by Google) The Sonoma County wine next to the Napa Valley is also good! Sonoma is the meaning of "Many Moons" in Indian legend, so the production area is also called "Moon Valley".
Sonoma is the cradle of California wines. Although there is no name in Napa Valley, many of the good wines produced here are rich and cannot be bought because the wine growers feel they want Doing winemaking, not business. Compared to the Napa Valley next door, Sonoma County is twice as large as the area, as well as numerous wineries and grape varieties. In this piece of land of about 1 million square miles, a total of 190 wineries have settled here. If you have time and enthusiasm, you can spend half a year here. In Sonoma County, you can find all the grape varieties in California. Come to Sonoma and choose the grape variety: Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley and Zinfandel from the Dry Creek Valley. The World Wine Magazine only recommends drinking both in this area.

纳帕谷旁边的索诺玛县(Sonoma County)酒也好好!Sonoma在印地安传说中是“多月”(Many Moons)的意思,所以该产区又叫“月亮谷”。
索诺玛是加利福尼亚州(California)葡萄酒的摇篮,尽管没有纳帕谷(Napa Valley)有名,但这里出产的好酒有不少是有钱也买不到的,因为这里的酒农觉得他们要做的是酿酒,而不是生意。与隔壁的纳帕谷相比,索诺玛县的面积整整大了2倍,同样有着众多的酒庄和葡萄品种。在这片约100万平方英里的土地上,一共有190个酒庄落户于此,你如果有时间有热情,可以在这里泡半年。在索诺玛县内,你能找到加利福尼亚州所有的葡萄品种。来Sonoma玩,选葡萄品种的时候要选:Russian River Valley出的黑皮诺(Pinot Noir)与Dry Creek Valley出的仙粉黛(Zinfandel),世界红酒杂志上只推荐在此地区喝这两种。
