Going back to Cali

Beth and I visited my brother Don and Vivian before heading up to Sonoma to stock the wine cellar (and so I could cover the Schwab Cup Championship)

My big brother listens intently to a witty anecdote or two after dinner.

My niece Brenna

And then off to wine country!

The cable car ride to Sterling vinyards

Beth and Lori Adams enjoy a tasting while I trudge around the golf course.

Yes, I did manage to get a little time to visit a few tasting rooms!

She knows the routine!

Silver Oak... Good stuff!

Just give it a few years...

Looks just like the label!

Bring on the wine and cheese.

Tasting menu.

I should do catalog work.

How cool would this be in the back yard?

To top it off, Beth got to deliver a birthday cake to Dave Marr of the Golf Channel during the broadcast on Saturday!
