The Sonoma Coast AVA extends from San Pablo Bay to the border with Mendocino County. Known for it's cool climate & high rainfall, it’s warm enough to ripen grapes because most vineyards are above the fog line.

The Durell Vineyard – owned by a Sonoma fave, @ThreeSticksWine – located in the Sonoma Coast as well as Sonoma Valley & Carneros, has warmer weather to the north & cooler weather to the south. The convergence & diversity create world-class pinot noir & chardonnay.

This month, we're spotlighting the Sonoma Coast AVA! This cool-climate viticulture is literally on the edge where grapes struggle to ripen on the margin of viability, creating a dynamic tension and flavorful intensity in their pinot noir & chardonnay.

#SustainabilitySpotlight on Heller Family Vineyards, who grow 11 acres of Bordeaux grape varieties in Fountaingrove AVA where warm days, cool nights and volcanic soil produce intense yet balanced wines.

Feels like a perfect weekend to put on hiking boots and get out into a vineyard! Have you visited our #VineyardAdventures hike at @LaCremaWines in the Russian River Valley AVA? It will teach you all about the sustainable farming that happens on this historic property.

[Sonoma Winegrowers @Sonomagrapes]

We're so excited about @SangiacomoVines inaugural wine releases! The Sangiacomo family have farmed in Sonoma County since 1927, and their sustainably-farmed vineyards are prized for their quality. You can learn more about the family here: https://t.co/6feK4HdYvX

Our favorite thing about chardonnay is its versatility; in Green Valley of the Russian River, the grape is a feature in racy sparkling wines, whereas in @AlexanderVlly, you're likely to find a rich still wine with tropical flavors. Tell us what you love about your favorite Chard!

[Sonoma Winegrowers @Sonomagrapes]

Happy #NationalChardonnayDay! You'll have no trouble finding a tasty chard from Sonoma County--it's our most planted white wine grape.

[Sonoma Winegrowers @Sonomagrapes]

Here's a look at what's happening on the vines right now!

Happy Hour Trivia: @FountngroveAVA just became an AVA in 2015. Can you name three other Sonoma County AVAs that have been recognized in the 2010s?
