1. 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.
2. 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.

Today was amazing again. Our tour of the Clif Family Winery started at their tasting store. With good karma, the owners of the winery showed up. Kit and Gary are just starting a 35 day road show to sell a new line of Kits Organic Bars. We got the first free sample direct from the owners.

After that we went up to visit the family farm. A great old carriage house with an incredible view. They had turkeys, horse, chickens, goats, bees, fruit tree, vegetable garden. We took home a whole salad. Plus a dozen farm fresh eggs.

After all that, we came back to the guest house for home made, wood-fired pizzas and wine. While Lynn sat in the sun by the pool. Time for dinner now.
