A Bay Area Latina woman says recent news of a group of black women getting kicked off the Napa Valley Wine Train for making too much noise motivated her to share her own experience on the same tour.

Norma Ruiz of San Leandro, Calif., was celebrating her 28th birthday in the train's lounge car with 10 friends in April, when a fellow passenger aggressively approached the party and said they were "annoying" other guests.

The group moved to the dining car, and even though they kept their voices low, a staff member threatened to boot them off the train....

"I felt so ridiculed when the manager approached me about keeping our noise down when in fact our noise level was no longer an issue," Ruiz wrote.
