Seconded. It's an easy side-trip for anyone doing a wine country visit (Santa Rosa is in Napa County.)Sabo wrote:If anyone ever goes to Santa Rosa, CA, check out the Charles Schulz Museum.

Yes it is. Still can't believe how small that place is.mister d wrote:And Russian River is in Santa Rosa.
Our jaunt to Russian River was quite long and windy, IIRC. I think we were coming from a lunch at Mustard's? in Napa.Steve of phpBB wrote:If you're doing a wine trip in Napa, then it's a bit of a long windy drive into Sonoma County/Santa Rosa.
Santa Rosa is a weird place. When I lived there in 1991-92, it was all sprawl and suburban and crummy, but surrounded by all kinds of interesting and scenic stuff.
As a local who goes up to the wine country regularly with the wife, let me say that I prefer Sonoma to Napa. They treat you much better as a visitor. Napa gets congested and when they're busy they treat you like a number. That happens much less often in Sonoma, and imho, they have just as many wineries that you want to visit.Steve of phpBB wrote:If you're doing a wine trip in Napa, then it's a bit of a long windy drive into Sonoma County/Santa Rosa.

I don't think so, but I'll ask the wife. She would know for sure. I see that it is in Sonoma.Giff wrote:Have you ever been to Repris?
It was spectacular. We'll hit that one each time we go up there going forward. In addition to touring the cellars and taking samples directly from barrels, they take you up to the top of a hill where you can see all the way into the city while enjoying a complimentary bottle. One of the coolest tours I've been on.sancarlos wrote:I don't think so, but I'll ask the wife. She would know for sure. I see that it is in Sonoma.Giff wrote:Have you ever been to Repris?

He was truly an original. He's known for those classic R&B songs -- both ones he wrote and ones he covered and made his own. But he was actually quite a jazz player in the beginning. Strong trumpet player as well as pianist. He never lost this touch, though I imagine many a record company exec held out the promise of pop riches and fame if he would move more to the mainstream.DaveInSeattle wrote:Mose Alison
