Of course, you'll hit the Castro district... and if you're into wine tasting, there's the Napa Valley.

If you have time, check out the Monterey Aquarium and think about having lunch at Nepenthe:

I tried Wicked, and read quite a bit, but lost interest near the end...

But, yeah, it is way overpriced.
