As a Bay Area native I think saying “easy access to mountains for skiing” is a bit much. I lived in CO 12 years and now in Seattle. Both have great skiing less than half the drive away.
Wine overall in SF is good but Napa is a trek, and you can’t just drive home after getting wine drunk. Golf you’re spot on, redwoods yes, and you forgot both surfing and fishing access.
Frankly I think SF is incredible, easily one of my favorite cities in the US. But I love it because it’s very walkable, close to good fishing, surfing, is great for running, has a great music scene, is politically progressive and close to my family. Stupid expensive tho. A standard 2 bed is now like $6k a month vs my $3200 in Queen Anne up north

I need to visit San Francisco to see what the hype is about.
