- Marin & Solano3 producersMarin & Solano sit within the broad North Coast AVA, alongside Lake, Mendocino, Napa and Sonoma. Geography and climate vary across the appellation, so there is no single regional wine style.
- Mendocino3 producersMendocino moves from coastal Pinot Noir and sparkling wine to inland vineyards with old-vine diversity. Anderson Valley is especially associated with Pinot Noir, as well as Alsace varieties.
- Napa80 producersNapa is a narrow, dry Mediterranean valley where Cabernet Sauvignon sits alongside a broad range of grapes. Its internal appellations matter, as does the difference between mountain fruit and fruit from the valley floor.
- Sonoma15 producersSonoma's 19 AVAs stretch from warmer Cabernet country to cool-climate Riesling, with plenty of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay between. Russian River Valley fog and the bright, moderate style linked to the West Sonoma Coast show the range within the county.
