Points...Points...where can I use these points?

Spent much of the weekend trying to crossreference which points I had on which cards and which "points" Samantha had on her cards followed by which hotels, in which areas would accept "points"?  I became cross-eyed and had to make myself a poster to serve as my guide to which hotel did what etc.  Yes, I took a picture of my poster.  Man, I am truly obsessed!  I have narrowed down my search to:
1.  Meritage Resort Napa  http://www.themeritageresort.com/
2.  Napa Valley Marriott Hotel  http://www.napavalleymarriott.com/
3.  Lodge at Renaissance Marriott Sonoma  http://www.thelodgeatsonoma.com/
4.  Hyatt Vineyard Santa Rosa  http://www.vineyardcreek.hyatt.com/
5.  Hilton Sonoma Wine Country Santa Rosa  www1.hilton.com/...Hilton-Sonoma-Wine-Country
6.  Marriott Santa Rosa www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/stscy-courtyard-santa-rosa

Will have to chose today and get this part of our trip booked.  Hotels seem to be the first challenge in this trip; possibly if I were not trying to get our stay FREE, it wouldn't be!  I am also trying to find a way to meander over to the coast to Timber Cove around Jenner

The photos sucked me in and I really want to do some photography around there.  I may have to convince Sam to give it a whirl :-)

Last post for today...
Taste of the Place-Week 1
2006 Cab from Rombauer Vineyards:
The overall score for the Wynns=7
Interesting that my score was an 8 but I dropped it by 1 point because the cost was higher than I prefer for a bottle of wine on a casual Friday.  Since it was the kick-off weekend of my new 10 week planning journey **Taste of the Place**, the cost of $38 may have been worth it...I did enjoy it!
