	VIA Online: Sonoma, Calif.: Wine Country Destination
		Sonoma has clung to its history, stubbornly resisting any attempts to transform it into just another wine country destination like some of the boutique towns of nearby Napa Valley, where family farms have given way to bland McMansions.
		California's fabled wine country—and the $33 billion industry that flows from it—actually got its start on the Plaza, though you won't find so much as a squashed grape on the pavement to commemorate it.
		But Sonoma never quite got over the notion that it was supposed to be the capital of something, and to this day views its Plaza as a sort of national rotunda to the wine country.

	Sunset: Simple pleasures of Sonoma - the city of Sonoma, California
		It's true: Sonoma County is the land of plenty, now rivaling its neighbor, Napa County, as a world-class destination featuring wineries, restaurants, and resorts.
		In Sonoma Valley alone--that is, the 17-mile-long crescent-shaped valley bounded by the Mayacamas and Sonoma Mountains--there are more than 35 excellent wineries and a corresponding number of restaurants worth a trip.
		Sonoma Mayor Ken Brown attributes the small-town feel of the valley to several factors--first and foremost, to the preponderance of Sonoma families who have lived here for generations.
