"Richmond has arranged for the folks at Artesa Vineyards & Winery (1345 Henry Rd.; 707-224-1668; artesawinery.com) to greet you with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine at their hilltop aerie: When the Spanish Codorníu family decided to build an American outpost, they cut the top off the highest point on their new property, inserted a winery, and replanted the grass on the roof. The result resembles a half-submerged submarine. The Codorníu clan had been making sparkling wines since 1872, and they continued to do so when they arrived in California. But in 1997, they shifted their operations to still wines, which they've been producing for four and a half centuries: chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and the occasional Gewürztraminer or cabernet franc."
