OAK skips Golden Gate Bridge stack

SFO to Sonoma requires Bay Bridge + Golden Gate Bridge (two crossings, two chokepoints). OAK to Sonoma uses only the Carquinez Bridge (one crossing, faster) + I-80 to US-101 N. OAK is often the time-and-cost winner.

Russian River + Dry Creek + Alexander Valley experienced

Sonoma County has 19 AVAs. We know the Westside Road sequence (Williams Selyem, Rochioli), the Dry Creek zinfandel corridor (Quivira, Ridge), and the Alexander Valley cabernet estates (Jordan, Silver Oak).
