Sonoma County is regarded as one of California’s finest and most diverse growing regions, with 19 subregions growing more than 60 grape varieties. This week, we spotlight the excellent quality and diversity of Sonoma Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (leading grapes, in terms of acreage) as well as Zinfandel, which is also heavily represented in the region.
