Summary: 

One final winery that I love to plug is Valley in the Moon-- in Glen Ellen
in the Sonoma valley instead of Napa, but they make a columbard to die
for...

This assumes it is available in a liquor or discount store. Valley of the
Moon is a winery more interested in making wine than money, so they sell
only through their cellar on the winery-- if you don't get it there, you
don't get it (at least, last time I checked...). Major wineries aren't as
much trouble, but their lesser known wines are sometimes hard to find.
Robert Mondavi makes a dessert wine called 'Muscat D'oro' that is
wonderful, and I have never found it anywhere except the winery. Before you
leave the winery, you had better check about distribution of the wines
you're interested in-- the aren't as interested in selling you wine on site
as they are in selling you the wine, so they don't mind these kind of
questions.
