Napa

Last week it was ski-jumping in San Francisco, but this week I got to go on a trip to the Napa Valley, the heart of California's wine-making region. I wonder if all kids my age are doing all this stuff.

If you've never been to Napa, this is kind of what it looks like... (and you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them)


I got to see grapes growing on the vines, trucks carting the grapes for processing, grapes being loaded into a big hopper, the big barrels and tanks where it gets fermented, and the final product, a nice cold glass of champagne.

I didn't have any wine of champagne of course, because I only drink milk right now, but I did notice that the milk does taste even nicer after mommy has her champagne.
