Monthly Archives: November 2011 I was sitting at the restaurant bar waiting for her. I was in San Francisco for a visit and had called Karyn to meet up for dinner. I reminisced the fun times we had together as foreign exchange students in Italy. We were much younger back then, still in college and on top of the…  This was taken a few weeks ago during my trip to San Francisco. I made two attempts to wake up at 5:00 am to capture some sunrise shots of the Golden Gate Bridge. Alas, it was never meant to be because who really gets up that early when they’re on vacation? Apparently, not me. Instead,… 1 comment 
Such a beautiful brilliant red in the bridge. Great shot!  Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

Looks gorgeous! You look quite chilly, though. John’s story is sad but it is great that he keeps up with sailing and enjoys the life he has. 
Michelle – Nice photos! I should have lent you my -50 degree sleeping bag and or my full body down suit meant for Antarctica! I’m sooo looking forward to temps in the upper 70′s and 80′s this weekend in Pasadena  A couple of weeks ago, my friend Dave Thompson invited me to join him to help with harvest season in wine country Napa Valley in Northern California. Dave started The Napa Wine Project, in which he is personally visiting, tasting and reviewing every winery and commercial wine producer in Napa Valley. He has visited more… 9 comments
This winery looks divine. Great photos Michelle! How pricey is this wine? I imagine if they don’t distribute it much it must be a little higher in price. 
Wonderful photos and post, Michelle and Dave. How fun to taste the juice right out of the crusher! I really enjoyed my visit to Tedeschi Winery and meeting Emil, too. I got to do some “tucking” of the vines. The vineyards are lovely and I love Emil’s style of wine production. I hope to visit there again sometime soon, especially after reading your post! 
Great photos! You really got the red carpet tour! 
It is nice to see a small winery still in operation. Thanks for sharing the great pictures and story. 
Beautiful Photography Michelle, Plus another check off the Bucket List – Good for you!
Thanks for the making the long trek up north Michelle – love the photos You’ve captured well the essence of Tedeschi’s tiny vineyard and the flurry of activity during harvest. 
Those are some awesome images. Really love that first image of the grapes. Makes me want a glass of wine now 
Thank you all for your comments! Rease – I believe the price ranges between $36-$70. Dave – Amazing how just a couple of weeks can make such a big difference in the landscape this time of year. Thank you again for taking me! – Michelle 
Great Pictures and story. I am happy that someone is paying attention to the smaller wineries. |

You should see the valley now – its a patchwork quilt of brilliant yellows, oranges and reds. The first major frost will turn this color explosion to grey in a matter of hours.
