One of the things that the gang did while in San Francisco was head out to Wine Country. We toured some wineries in Sonoma and Napa. One of our fave wineries was Ravenswood where we got to tour the vineyards and walk among the grapes and do a cask tasting of their zinfandels. Below is a picture of the casks in storage.

Of course most of the wine dialogue for the day was above my head. Still, we had an excellent tour guide at the Joseph Phelps Vineyards that went a long way towards educating me about the true differences between French, Canadian, and Australian growing styles.

While it's not something I would want to do every year, visiting Napa and Sonoma gave me a much greater appreciation of the science and art behind the wine industry. If you guys get a chance to go, you should really jump at the opportunity.

This is just too cool! My Dad pointed out to me that Continental has downloadable flight schedules that sync automatically with PDAs and cell phones. That way, when you are looking for an earlier/later flight you can have the necessary info before you call.

Welcome to the future, baby!
