Hey @gamlingmcduck, as we sip a Crémant de Loire, we’re left thinking that you need to produce some bubbles! 🍾 We’ll be first in line to taste!

Sonoma County is a vast, beautiful place. Less than 7 percent of the county burned in the Kincade fire—land primarily in the wooded Mayacamas mountain range. The news headlines often paint a grim picture; it's sunny and beautiful throughout most of wine country. #gatherinsonoma

And we’re back! We adventure to @stonyhillwine where the wine is white, history runs deep, the views are breathtaking and they have a pool!

Today I completed the final stage in my evolution toward Disney Princess.

No food. No tempting. Just patience and stillness.

Despite the rain and limited views, we could not have had a better experience at @manhatta_nyc. Excellent wine list, phenomenal service. Not bad for not wine country.

We adventure to @WinerySmith in #SpringMountain, where winemaking has been a family passion for over forty years.

We adventure to @LasPositasWine in Livermore Valley, where Spanish-style wines are flowing, albariño, verdelho and barbera? No wait, that’s an Italian varietal...

We finally adventure to @BaldacciWinery to check off our final @winecountryfilm winery!

With a sparkling chardonnay, a late harvest gewürztraminer and a @StagsLeapAVA cabernet sauvignon, they were well worth the trip!

Does anyone else look at their dog lost in sniffling and ponder what it would take to train them to smell a Burgundy from a Bordeaux?

We are here close to a crime against humanity or to the forbidden fabrication of a chemical weapon.
