Early afternoon light illuminates oaks and vineyard in the Sonoma Valley, CA.   This view looks east toward Sugarloaf Ridge and the Napa Valley.  The two valley's, divided by a high ridge of mountains, stretch north from the city of San Francisco's north bay area and form a backbone of the California wine industry.  Sugarloaf Ridge hosts a wonderful state park.  This view is the beginning of the Oakville Grade-Trinity Road drive, a spectacularly scenic connection between the two counties and wine regions.
