Living in California certainly has its perks, especially since we live so close to some of the very best wineries in the world. Not only is Gallo Winery from our area, there are an abundant amount of wineries speckled all around the beautiful Sonoma Valley.
Located outside of Healdsburg, California is a neat little general store that is owned and operated by the Gallo family. There you can find wonderful wines and cheeses and even a deli counter that can whip up a delicious sandwich to either take out or dine on the casual patio out front.
The store has a farmhouse feel to it…
Chocolate and red wine are GOOD for you, too! Pezzi King winery has a wonderful red wine called Riley’s Red. Riley, a handsome Wheaten Scottie, is the mascot of the winery.
Not only are the wines outstanding, the views from the winery are gorgeous.

Wine and chocolate - very good for you! You're so lucky to live withing driving distance of such a beautiful part of the country.
Very nice trip to wine country...I'd drink wine if it liked me. I have nothing against it. Beautiful views!

Wow, beautiful Becky. You better leave Missy Fiona at home, she might want to flirt with Riley.
That chocolate really looks good.
Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful pictures! I love going up to Northern California to visit...it is so pretty in that area!! My BIL lives up in wine country!
Gorgeous photographs! The area looks beautiful.
Becky, I have often wondered if you knew some of the folks that I know from Gallo. They are one of my long time customers and I've been there a couple of times for business. They are so nice! :) It is such a pretty place. :)
