The Napa valley reminds me of Australia. Similar shaped hills and that golden dry summer look.

Mt. St. Helena (not Mt. St. Helens), above Calistoga, is of volcanic origin. Clear Lake is the caldera. The valley broadens as you go south from Calistoga (region 3 for grape growing: cabernet, merlot, ect. ) to the city of Napa and the San Francisco Bay (region 1: chardonnay, and pinot noir).

It has long been assumed that California was called the "Golden State", because the lack of rain fall from May to October turned the hills a golden brown, and, of course, there was that thing at Sutter's Mill;-)
