The wine may be labeled as Sonoma but Healdsburg is the shopping and foodie centre of Sonoma County, situated at the heart of 3 of the most prestigious wine valleys : Russian River, Alexander Valley and Chalk Hill. A great place to spend my day off between tasting classes. The Plaza has a selection of restaurants, cafés and boutiques that puts Saint Emilion to shame and free Wifi access for all so I can sit in the park and blog away! The Plaza also has the clothes store where all the lady wine makers tell me they shop : Susan Graf on the Plaza. www.susangraf.com and Susan also is part of the wine community with her small Adorada vinyard.
