  It's been a while since I've posted a blog on Snooth.  It also has been a while since I've done anything with the pages I curate.  If you don't know I curate the Sonoma County and Sonoma Valley webpages.  One way to address both of these pages and get a blog in is to talk about two of the smaller, lesser known sub-appellations in the region.  I ...
