California Wine Country... made me think of Italy...
Acres and acres of grape vineyards, as far as the eye could see...
the closer we got... the more beautiful...
somebody had an artistic vision of the grape vine...
First stop... Concannon Vineyard... in Livermore, California (thanks Natalie!)..!
and winery... 
where Paul greeted us, and shared stories of the California Wine Country and it's history... and his knowledge of California wines...
for the $5 tasting fee... you get to keep your glass...
and we bought a bottle of Chardonnay...
then after finding that many of the wineries are only open on weekends... and we were there on Monday... we drove until we found Crooked Vine Winery... home of Stoney Ridge wine...
where Jeanne said we could take a picture of her behind... so I did... and while I didn't take many photos at Crooked Vine... we ended up buying so much wine, we had to have Jeanne ship it to us... via FedEx... a nice little service that we found all the California Wineries offer... the wine closet has been freshly stocked... thanks California!
The beautiful California Wine Country... I think I'll go back one day...
but today, I'm glad to be back in French Lique...
