Smothered in Praise

My husband is comedian Tommy Smothers, also known as “the dumb one” of the Smothers Brothers. Thank you for your insightful article about our beloved Sonoma (‘Savoring the Sonoma Difference,” April 1). You really captured the essence of our valley.

We appreciate the mention of our winery, but I must also compliment you on the selection in your guidebook. Kenwood is our favorite restaurant--our clubhouse, really--and so often overlooked because of its commercial success.

Most important, you conveyed the elegance of our casual, unpretentious, bluejeans lifestyle.
