Weekend in Napa Valley

Friday, Sept. 14th 2007. Staying in St. Helena at Clarks. Started out going to Maryville Winery. We picked up Clark at his work then drove to Vinecliff Winery, met the owner of the winery Rob, son of the owners and then met the winemaker-Rex from Palmerston North NZ and cellar hand- Lucy, here just two monthes, from Christchurch NZ. He has been here for 26 harvests. We drove to St Helena for lunch, met Clarks father, Lee and had a picnic in the park. Clark went back to work and we took Lee home then drove to more wine tastings- Darhoush, Signorello, Clos du val, Domaine Chandon then to Mondavi for an art reception, met up with Rich, friend friend of Trac & Robyns. We said hello to Margareet Mondavi just before she scurried away to dinner with Bob.
