Actually, the 12 tastes barely made up a glassful.
Emus, outside the castle. Not very medieval, but very cool looking.
Niche in the castle wall
A Sicilian Cart. How Nick’s father traveled to the ship headed for the New World.
Bouchon Restaurant, two doors down from our B&B in Yountsville.
Very French!
Mumm Napa Valley—home of sparkling wines
Our very gracious host. An interesting way to spend a retirement.
Yountville had interesting art all over town.
An Olympic Torch bearer came by while we were standing outside our B&B. What an odd coincidence!
Robert Mondavi Winery. It revolutionized California winemaking and the Napa Valley in particular.
Adorned with contemporary art. This is a California Bear.
Robert Mondavi himself, was given this jacket made out of wine corks at an anniversary of the winery.
Our knowledgable and exuberant tour guild.
Mission style exaggerated.
Giant oak casks used for fermenting. Other wineries use Stainless steel.
Even the aging rooms made an architectural statement.
Nothing was out of place.
The bottling room was sterile with careful bottling, not to upset the wine.
Our host was having a blast! She brought out extra limited edition wines for us to try and ran way overtime. We used up any extra time we allotted for getting to the airport.
