Conversely, Sonoma success is dependent on two main axioms.  First, its plurality of climatic and geographic conditions that allow for a number of different varietals to grow successfully throughout the county, in addition to the attitude of its winemakers.  Secondly, Sonoma boasts an agricultural attitude much like that of Burgundy.  Its producers feel a closeness to the land, leaving one with the impression that location does matter and that wine is not simply a luxury, but the product of “blood, sweat, and tears,” resulting in a wine that reflects both the land and the winemaker.  Simply put, Sonoma is more down to earth.  Its winemakers desire to make the best product they can paying careful attention to what varietal is most well-suited for a certain geographic location.  This attitude has contributed to Sonoma’s success and will assure that the region continues to remain successful.
