Napa!

Reynolds Winery. Burt Reynolds the charming orange cat who loved me. Fantastic!

Glorious weather, unbelievable scenery, perfect company.

Next stop, a winding drive up Spring Mountain to Pride Winery. We didn't have an appointment but, I guess we looked trustworthy so they let us in! It wasn't just tasting, our guide Russ took us through the caves and we even had a barrell tasting. He allowed me to hold the "thief" that removes the 2008 Cabernet straight out of the barrel. It was delicious. Russ also gave us a glass of Chardonnay to take up to the picnic tables that came complete with a panaroramic view off of Spring Mountain. We had four different types of cheeses from the Cheese Board in Berkeley and fresh baguettes. Who needs anything else?

Two more wineries. Feeling warm and happy.

Lymphedema and a swollen right arm but, I'm praying that goes away. It is a little better today but, very distressing.

We met another kitty on the street last night and got her a can of food. Someone had shaved half her body, she was painfully thin and beaten up. But, she was a sweetheart, purred when I petted her and was appreciative for an easy dinner. If we were in San Diego, I'd have brought her home. I'm praying someone else will.

Okay, time to transform into a glamorous blonde wine taster!! Darioush, here we come!!
