Napa 2

 Another beautiful California day, temps in the 80's and no clouds.  The whole group rode up the Napa valley  and visited a couple of vineyards.

The first was Sterling Vineyards.

The winery is accessed by a tram.

Yoda enjoyed the view

We got a tour of the winery.

Next came lunch in Calistoga

Then we visited California's version of Old Faithful.

Still waiting...

Not yet...

Thar she blows!
Not quite as impressive as Yellowstone.

Finally, we visited Castellano Vineyard, which features a reproduction medieval castle.

Lots of strange fowl around, including sleeping emu.
