The morning fog peels back from the bay as a chauffeured SUV eases past the Golden Gate and pauses at Fort Baker — a short toast of sparkling wine, a clear frame of the bridge, and the road ahead. From there the drive climbs into rolling vineyards where rows of vines angle toward the sun and coastal breezes dare the pockets of fog to stay.
