My favorite vineyard was Harvest Moon, while Big River Ranch was definately the most interesting. I did not have anything bad to say about any of the Sonoma Valley Vineyards, but that might be because it was my first trip to vineyards the size of those in Sonoma Valley. Please click thru the pictures above to see what my favorite things were for each vineyard and wine tasting.</font> <p align="left" style="margin: 4"> <p align="left" style="margin: 4"> <p align="left" style="margin: 4"> <p align="left" style="margin: 4"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <table width="100%" align="center"border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#660033"> <div align="center"> <p><a href="/Taste-of-wine.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Wine Tasting','','/tasting-wine%202.jpg',1)"><img src="/tasting-wine.jpg" alt="Wine Tasting" name="Wine Tasting" width="99" height="78" border="0"></a> </p> <p><a href="/Taste-of-wine.htm"><font color="#FFFFFF"><strong>How to Taste Wine</strong></font></a></p> </div></td> <td bgcolor="#660033"> <div align="center"> <p><a href="/Smell-of-wine.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Smelling Wine','','/smelling-wine%202.jpg',1)"><img src="/smelling-wine.jpg" alt="Smelling Wine" name="Smelling Wine" width="99" height="78" border="0"></a> </p> <p><a href="/Smell-of-wine.htm"><font color="#FFFFFF"><strong>How to Smell Wine</strong></font></a></p> </div></td> <td bgcolor="#660033"> <div align="center"> <p><a href="/Enjoying-the-wine.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Enjoying Wine','','/Enjoying-Wine%202.jpg',1)"><img src="/Enjoying-Wine.jpg" alt="Enjoying Wine" name="Enjoying Wine" width="99" height="78" border="0"></a></p> <p><a href="/Enjoying-the-wine.htm"><font color="#FFFFFF"><strong>How to Enjoy Wine</strong></font></a></p> </div></td> </tr> </table> <tr> <td bgcolor="#CC6600"> <font color="#FFFFFF" size="4" face="BernhardMod BT">Other Cool Sites</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100" colspan="2"> <hr noshade size="1"> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center"> <tr align="center"> <td><a href="#"><< Previous</a> • <a href="#">Next >></a></td> </tr> </table> <p> </p> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">  <tr> <td width="536" height="23" valign="top"> ©2008 My Life and Wine <a href="/about-wine.htm">About Me</a> • <a href="mailto:mylifeandwine@gmail.com">Contact Me</a></td> <td width="454" align="right" valign="top"><a href="/types-of-wine/red-wine.htm">Red Wine</a> • <a href="/types-of-wine/white-wine.htm">White Wine</a> • <a href="#">Sparkling Wine</a>• <a href="/wine-product-reviews.htm">Wine Products</a> </td> </tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
