Carneros means "Sheep" in Spanish. You’ll see lots of these natural weed controllers rambling along the rolling hills and abundant vines of Los Carneros. This AVA straddles Napa and Sonoma counties, and while many varietals are grown there, it is celebrated for its sparkling wines. Visit www.carneros.com →
