There's only day left to enter to win this year's HGTV Dream Home in Sonoma, the heart of California's Wine Country. Lisa Quinn takes us on a private tour of the home with the man who built it, vintner and developer Steve Ledson. The roughly 3,000 square foot home showcases a "traditional-meets-modern" design which includes; anti-bacterial countertops, built-in wine cabinets, state-of-the-art appliances, rustic furnishings, and retro decor. Lisa shows us simple touches throughout the home that you can incorporate in your own space to create a retreat of your own.
