Benziger was our last stop and a perfect way to end our tour. After the down from Kenwood, and being really buzzed at this point, we were a bit impatient to do the whole tasting of 5 sips of different wines and decided to just buy 2 bottles of the Rose and drink outside and enjoy the scenery. I'm usually not a big fan of Rose wine, but this one is off the hook.

I've heard nothing but great things about
Kenwood, however, this place wasn't as much of a hit for us as we expected. After coming from a more relaxed and fun atmosphere in Chateau St. Jean, Kenwood was more of a slow paced environment that seemed to drag and turned sour as our host was an older man who wasn't too fond of our group of friends that seemed to be too loud or exciting for his kind. We still made the most of it and headed out to our next destination.

GO HERE! After we had lunch at
Vineyards Inn, we went right next door to
Chateau St. Jean and this place was FUN just look for Sonja. I'm a fan of white wine and my favorite from here were the Pinot Blanc and for red is the Pinot Noir.
Not only was this estate and vineyard gorgeous but it was an excellent choice as our first stop to begin our wine tasting experience. I would definitely come back here again and I highly recommend coming in a big group for a fun and great time.

So I've never been wine tasting before and it's amazing how close the Wine Country is from Santa Rosa. We decided to check out
Sonoma Valley opposed to
Napa since the majority has never been and from my friend's reviews, Sonoma takes the cake. This area is hands down breathtaking. It was closer and less pretentious than what I hear Napa is like, but next time around I would definitely make a visit out there for sure to compare.
