Back from Vacation

Just back from Passport to Dry Creek Valley 2010 And we had a great time! The weather was perfect for the entire weekend. We tasted some amazing wines. All I can say is, the '07 vintages kick butt!

We went out on Thursday before it started. On Friday we went up to Lake Sonoma

What a beautiful day! This little guy came out to visit us.

We got a helicopter ride out to the vineyards at Passalacqua Here's some shots of it and the vineyards from above.









You can see all of the pictures at my webshots account, here, click on Passport 2010.

That's it for now. No stitching to show. I hope to get back to my stitching this week!
Thanks for reading!

More Pics

While in wine contury last Saturday, we did a vineyard tour. This is Peterson Winery's vineyard. The terraced grape vines are amazing. I can't imagine having to trapse up and down these vines to take care of the grapes everyday! It's a workout!









This is the new wine cave, they just finished it!

Inside the cave.


A great time was had by all! And WAY TOO MUCH wine was drunk!

Pics from my Trip

Last week we attended the Passport to Dry Creek Valley in Healdsburg, CA. We left on Wed. and it didn't start till Fri. So on Thurs. we went to see the Redwoods in a place called Avenue of the Giants. Aplty named, I'd say...

This is a downed tree shown from the upended root side. That my DH on the left, just to give the idea of how large these trees are!

Well, enough pics for now. I'll have more from the wineries later. I'm going back to the doctor. I did a course of antibiotics that I finished before we left on our trip. I was feeling a little better until Sunday. Then it all came back and with a terrible barking cough. We didn't get home till this Wed. and the first I could get into the doctor was today. Wish me luck! I'll write again later!
