I have a few small wine posts to put up in the coming days, and I may even try my hand at a quick video, but for now some food pictures will have to hold you over. Dirty just posted a quick video for your viewing pleasure as well.
West Coast food always impresses me, from the inexpensive & delicious taquerias, to the decadent and progressive tasting menus of famed chefs. My previous trip out west, to San Diego, was an incredible food trip, but NorCal gave San Diego a run for its money. See my San Diego post here.

I don’t have any pictures from Scopa, but that may have been the best meal we had in Healdsburg. Tripe in spicy red sauce, grilled peaches, and grilled romaine with the cleanest white anchovies I’ve ever tasted was incredible.
Clearly, the food in Sonoma/Napa is something to behold, and we haven’t even gotten to the wine yet…
