Views of a local who has been in the hospitality side of the wine biz full- or part-time for about three decades. Maybe more importantly, an avid consumer of the local wines for over 40 years. Mostly general comments on the California wine business because that's what I know.

Fourth of July in Sonoma County
For 2012 the Fourth falls mid-week. Many wineries close for the Fourth and most of those that are open will close early that day (maybe 3 pm). The number of visitors is usually low as folks are going to the beach and/or a BBQ. This year with a Wednesday holiday expect most wineries to be closed that day. If you wish to visit a few tasting rooms then call ahead to see who is open.
Otherwise, there are lots of fireworks shows in the county starting on the weekend before the Fourth. A couple of towns have parades on the Fourth. Also, there's the Napa County Fair in Calistoga.
A list of fireworks shows from the Press Democrat.
