There are over 400 bonded wineries ranging from tiny (e.g. StoneRidge with
4 acres of vines) to bohemoth (Gallo in Modesto, the world's largest winery,
is the size of GM's plant in Detroit) in California.  It would be a task to
list them all here, but...

Sunset Books has a nice large-format paperback, "California Wine Country",
listing most wineries and giving tour info, product info, etc.  Well worth
the five or six bucks.

Another good resource is E. Frank Henriques' "Signet Pocket Encyclopedia of
Wine".  Although not exclusively about California, it's real evident when you
read it where Frank hails from.  He gives detailed vintage info about
specific wines which is quite reliable.  The 600+ page paperback is available
virtually everywhere (drugstores?) for a bargain $4.95.

Cheers!
