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;-)
