As much as I enjoy wine, I equally enjoy visiting California's wine country, Napa and Sonoma. I'm heading to Sonoma again this weekend, and thought I'd share some photos of my last trip. Here I am standing next to rows of Opus One French oak barrels. I never pass up an opportunity for a photo op! I always enjoy visiting wineries, touring their facilities and of course, the wine tasting itself.

above: I was tasting several wines over dinner and enjoying the flavors with different courses of the meal. Above right: For some reason I was fascinated with this light fixture. Perhaps it was the wine speaking to me.
above: After dinner I sat outside by the gas fire and enjoyed a nice glass of Cabernet. It was a perfect way to end the day. Tomorrow I head back up to Sonoma for a fantastic wine party at one of our favorite wineries. You can be sure I'll have more photos to share of that trip!
