It was another beautiful day in Napa today. Bob went for a long run (follow the link) through the hills. Lynn did a run/walk through the neighborhood. We have two wine tours today.
- Storybook – Is very old winery dating back to the 1800’s. They say it was the Grim brothers and that’s where they got the name. Their unique feature is that all berry’s are hand picked by the family. They ferment the wine in 100 foot long caves dug by the Chinese in the late 1800’s. The caves are lined with black mold which controls the humidity of the cave. It was like a carpet attached to the walls.
- Fieldstone – This is a very small winery. You can’t get this wine in Cincinnati. The people were very nice and gave us a large plate of cheese and crackers. They also allowed Barry to buy at a distributor price. Yes, we’ll be sharing in that bounty.
We had lunch at the Calistoga Inn Brewery. The Burgers are huge!
We ate Dinner at the Clif Family guest house again. It was a great evening.
