A few nice calistoga images I found:
Snoopy in Calistoga
Charles M. Schulz visited Calistoga, California’s Old Faithful geyser in 1984 and left his "signature" on a page from their guest book. This was hanging on the wall outside the attraction.
California – Calistoga: Sterling Vineyards
Sterling Vineyards, at 1111 Dunaweal Lane, was founded in 1964 when British international paper broker and former London Times Financial Times writer, Peter Newton’s Sterling International bought a 50-acre parcel of vineyard bordering Calistoga. Newton planted Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and the region’s first significant Merlot at a time most vineyards were focusing on Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1969, they released the first vintages, including the first vintage-dated Merlot in California.
The Mediterranean-style white stucco winery complex, perched 300 feet above the town of Calistoga, was designed by Martin Waterfield from 1971-1972. Set against the Mayacamas and Vaca mountain ranges that flank each side of Napa Valley, the design was inspired by the Greek island of Mykonos, where Newton once lived, and and incorporates bells from St. Dunstans’s in London, England, a church destroyed in World War II. The Visitor’s Center, accessible by an aerial tramway carrying guests from the parking lot to the top of the knoll, opened in 1973.
The Coca Cola Company bought the winery in 1977, in a short-lived attempt to enter the wine market. In 1979, the Rutherford vineyards and the world-famous Diamond Mountain Ranch Vineyard were acquired. Joseph E. Seagram and Sons bought the winery in 1982, and increased quality as well as boosting production from 60,000 cases to nearly 400,000. In late 2001, Seagrams was purchased by Diageo. Today, Sterling owns and farms 1200 acres of vineyards throughout the Napa Valley.
