Shoppers looking for Valencia Streets indie sensibility
will nd it at 14 Fee t (14feet.net), which showcases the one-
of-a-kind antique and vintage furniture collection of Mike
Morisette and Marne Dupere, who opened shop after a year-long
Airstream voyage across the country. Here, Parisian bread carts
and grandmotherly china laced with less ladylike expletives
hold court with more rough-and-tumble objects such as 1940s
locker room benches. More modern tastes should check out
t al l ul ah (mytallulah.com), the home decor and accessories shop
from designer Denise Trefry. Its Jonathan Adler
whimsy meets Betsey Johnson frilly punk.
Anyone whos ever lost track of time perus-
ing the poetry and magazines at SFs Dog Eared
Books must pop into levin & Company (707-
433-1118). The small, independently ownedbookstore has a well-curated selection of nicely
displayed tomes, including nearly every culi-
nary and oenological book published in the past
ve years.
Come dinner time, resist the urge to high-
tail it back to the city. Since 2008, sCopa (scopa
healdsburg.com) has gained quite the following
for its rened Italian dishes with the freshest
possible ingredients such as rabbit Bolognese
and spaghettini sugo Calabrese. In June, Scopassister restaurant, Cam p o Fi n a , opened just
around the corner, pairing pizzas blistered in an
outdoor wood-burning oven with bocce ball and
local, Italian-style wines.

.Like the vintners, butchers, and chefs in Dogpatch, Boonville does its
own thing. Theres not much happening here on a daily basisand thats partof the appeal. While Boon v i l l e h ot e l (boonvillehotel.com) is the only one
worth staying at, VRBOs (vacation rentals by owner, vrbo.com) are scattered
across the valley and provide more indie sanctuary (tip: look for one with a
decent grill). Boonville Hotel, though, is still your best bet for dinner. Expect
a family-style prix-xe meal la Ad Hoc in Yountville. Meals might include
beer-braised short ribs or local salmon with favas and morels. The hotel is also
host to a Saturday morning farmers market. Pick up some local meat, veggies,
and olive oil for a feast back at the house.
For drinks, the anderson valley BrewinG Company (avbc.com)
is a must for growlers of taproom-exclusive beer like the bafingly complexbarrel-aged sour stout. Listen to locals discuss the ner points of disc golf, and
then check out the hops growing around the property. If the disc golf chatter
sparks your curiosity, get a game going: The brewery also includes one of
Northern Californias premiere 18-hole courses, which is on the Professional
Disc Golf Association circuit (true story).
The coffee and sweets shop paysanne (sweetpaysanne.com) may be too
cute for its own good, but their affogato made with Three Twins ice cream
is no joke. In the summer, homemade popsicles are a must. On your way to
Roederer for some bubbly, stop at liBBys restaurant (707-895-2646), a
Mexican spot in Philo (near Roederer) that has been lling local winemakers
with carnitas tacos for years.

Sebastopol drips in kitsch with not one but ve vintage clothing and costume shops.By far the best is auBerGine vintaGe emporium & CaFe (aubergineafterdark.com),
a couple blocks from the towns center. Aubergine brims with vintage lingerie and Alpine
felt hats, and the stores nighttime bar, concert, and burlesque venue solves the problem
of being all dressed up with nowhere to go (as you might guess, this is a real challenge
in western Sonoma).
In Sebastopol, your closet wont be the only beneciary of groovy salvaged
goods. rays tradinG Co. (707-829-9726), on Gravenstein Highway, is sort of like
Anthropologiebut for real. Bring a truck, and load up on everything from hardware to
tractor-seat stools, as well as hundreds of antique doors, windows, and table legs. The
possibilities are endless.
It wouldnt be a day in the Upper Haight, er Sebastopol, without a craft beer at the
Magnolia Brewery of Wine Country. Spend the afternoon sipping house dunkel-
weizen in the garden at h op m on k t av e r n (hopmonk.com), which hosts live music
most nights. While this may feel like a beer town, Sebastopol is still in Sonoma,
where drinking wine is required. Leave it to Primus frontman Les Claypool to bridge
the gap. The singers Cl ayp ool Ce l l ar s (claypoolcellars.com), housed in a former
train depot, is known for its wild parties. You never know when you might hop aboard
the antique train car (aka the tasting room) and nd beautiful women pouring Rhone-
varietal wines and offering tastes of sauerkraut to a soundtrack of accordion music.
