A beautiful vision of Napa Valley. I took a field trip there on Thursday and there was much to be seen. I should be able to fit one more picture on here, although I am not sure I have ever tried it. I was blessed with an excellent, gorgeous day, and let me tell you, the Napa Valley Visitors Center really sets you up for a great day. Although a bit hard to find from the freeway, it is worth the search; maps, coupons, and a list of must sees, all worth the price of admission, free. We first stopped by the V. Sattuoi winery, had sandwiches and homegrown olives. Next we took a ride over to the Beringer winery, took an excellent tour through their caves and learned a lot about their history. After that we swung around to the other side of the valley and went by the Mumm Napa winery, famous for their champagne. They had a wonderful piece of land, sure it was farther than we could even see, and nice shop, and they were even host to a Ansel Adams photographic art gallery. Among the gallery were also windows into various parts of their factory floor which was very cool to see. One room boasts about 1,100,000 bottles in it alone and there were other rooms. One can't help but think of the value of that which rested inside.
I will have to include some more pictures at a later point. This on here is from the V.Sattoui picnic area, an old wine press outside what is now their storage cellars.
