On the Ridge

High on Monte Bello, looking down on Silicon Valley, is Ridge - one of the area's best wineries. We visited it last Saturday with [livejournal.com profile] saffronrose and [livejournal.com profile] spikeiowa, fellow oenophiles who were happy to taste old favourites and new vintages with us again.

Distant grapes

The Monte Bello vines curve over the mountaintop, a mix of old and new vines, still dark from the cold of the winter and ready for the promise of spring.

Old Vines

A fitting image for the spring equinox.
