This is a bin of grapes waiting to be de-stemmed and crushed at the Dutch Henry Winery.
This is a view of the backyard of the Summers Winery. They had great wine and a bocce court. (Yes, of course we played a game of bocce.)
The reason we went to Summers is that we read that you could see Calistoga's Old Faithful geyser erupting from the tasting room. Also, it costs less to taste at Summers than the admission to the little park by the geyser. The guy pouring for us said the geyser kind of looks like a broken sprinkler or a guy spraying his hose up in the air.
He was right. Yellowstone's is much better. But we went home with a few bottles of wine, so it was worth the trip. One of the wines we got was an Italian varietal called Charbono. Neither of us had ever heard of it, but it was quite nice.
We had a great time at the movie that night. We packed a picnic and smuggled in a bottle of wine. We sat out under the stars in between the vineyards and watched Rear Window. It was a terrific day.

That sounds like a great day!
So? How did you like the movie? Isn't it terrific? It's my fave. Sounds like you had a lovely day. Tut, tut. Smuggling wine is bad.
