Experienced in diverse areas of sales management, Illinois resident Jeanne Marcis is a multimedia solutions consultant with Clipper Magazine. An avid gardener, Jeanne Marcis enjoys pairing food and wine, and has made a number of trips to California’s Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley wine regions.
Located on California's North Coast, Sonoma Valley spans a vast area northwest of Napa and has 13 appellations and more than 250 wineries. Production is far greater in Sonoma than in Napa, despite the fact that it only has about three decades of continuous history producing commercially-significant quantities of wine.
The Sonoma County wine region is situated west of the Mayacamas Mountain range, with vineyards running as far as the Pacific coast and extending to Carneros County, which sits on the San Pablo Bay. This wide and varied landscape includes grape-growing areas that are characterized by cool coastal breezes and sea fogs, and encompasses some of the best places for growing Chardonnay. Sonoma’s inland vineyards receive a cooling breeze through the Petaluma Costa gap. Types of wines made include Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, and Bordeaux.
