wine country: Silicon Valley meets Sonoma! - 10/10/07 03:21 PM
Sorry I've neglected this blog so long.  With my lack of attention here, you'd think I was busy just raking in the dough...well, not quite.  I've been busy all right...lots of people looking, no one ready to commit.  This is confusing to me since our Sonoma home prices have been dropping like stones, houses have been coming off the MLS because they are going into foreclosure (nevertheless, reducing inventory) and interest rates still low. 
Now if someone could please tell Alan Greenspan to be quiet because it is no longer his job to comment on the future housing market - that's now someone … (1 comments)

wine country: FAT Grapes - why can't I upload my photos? - 09/06/07 05:34 PM

wine country: My first "ExperienceSonoma" blog - 08/06/07 04:58 PM
Well...I tried this a few days ago, and somehow my (very exciting) first blog was lost in the ether.  I'm trying again to share some of the wonders of Sonoma, CA with all of you.  For now, my associate,  Jane Hansen, has written about it on Active Rain and provided some great pictures.   For my part, I'm going to show you a little bit in pictures about exactly where we are in Sonoma! 
First - how far are we from the Pacific?...the answer is about 50 minutes.  Here's what to expect when you rise over that last hill and see what brought so many of … (5 comments)
