Probably didn't have the right guide.  I didn't care much for it originally as well (and still dislike the lack of diversity), however with the right group and the right person taking you to particular places, it can be quite fun, I have found.

I recommend heading up towards Calistoga and hitting Sterling Vineyards. A tram ride takes you up to the vineyard and it has breathtaking views of the Napa valley. and their wine is _really_ good. If any of you guys (im assuming its all guys who were posting) are bringing girlfriends/wives, calistoga has some great spas, and their massages (especially any grapeseed wraps) are heaven!
 
 ive always wanted to go to ravenswood vineyards. i think thats up in santa rosa.

 We're really only going to drink wine.  Don't start putting ideas in their head!

yeah, wife and i did the calistoga spa thing for our anniversary. . .while it wasn't auberge, it was still pretty relaxing.
 
 and yeah, the right group of people can really make all the difference in wine tasting and winery hopping.

Could we possibly get a more modern visitor's guide? It appears I will be visiting San Fran for the first time in October.

Right on.

I'm getting married on the 3rd, and then will be in Bora Bora through the 18th, but should be around Halloween weekend.

Congrats on the nuptials.  I'm coming to town for a wedding on Halloween, am seeing the Zombies while I am there at the fillmore. 

Bora Bora.  That will be amazing.  I'm jealous.
