What's the deal with the Sonoma Diet?

According to this, my ideal diet plan is the Sonoma diet. I'm pretty up on the latest diet trends but I'll admit, I've never heard of this one before, so I decided to do a little research. Here's what I learned: The Sonoma Diet is an eating plan that emphasizes the fresh, nutrient-rich foods of the Sonoma Valley. The diet has a South Beach-esque beginning -- it starts in the first wave, where dieters toss out the refined sugar and flour and opt for veggies, lean protein and healthy fats. In the second wave, fruit is added to the menu, as well as whole grains and even wine, in moderate amounts. The diet also focuses on the "Power Foods": almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains.
Maybe I really am destined for the Sonoma Diet, because honestly? this sounds like my current eating plan (Wave 2 does, at least.) The best part? You needn't cut out coffee -- it's allowed, as long as you don't pile on the cream and sugar.
Have you tried the Sonoma Diet?
