It will take a couple years to figure out how good the 2010 vintage turns out to be, but spending any time in the wine country is heaven. This was taken literally 50 feet from my good friend’s back porch a week before she went for, and passed!!!! the WSET Advanced Level 3 exam.
Most houses are within easy walking distance to vineyards in the Napa Valley. And I was assured that walking around the vines was okay. Down in the valley, the view is pretty much rows of grapes and the odd historical or eclectic building. I imagined being hot and thirsty walking to a winery, stamping off the dust, and then heading in for a tasting of wines from previous vintages of the vines I’d just passed.
This was taken during the morning hours just before the marine layer burned off for the morning. I got the inspiration to do a textured HDR by looking at all the old-time vineyard paintings we have.
