Sitting on a hillside somewhere in Sonoma. At the Richardson Vineyards. It's a very small operation from what I can see, but passing out sips of wine as part of a special event today. At the moment a glass (actually about a sip and a half) of merlot/cabernet franc/cabernet sauvignon is resting next to me. My second sip of the day, so yes all the faculties are still here and so are the typing skills.
Richardson is one of several participants in what's called April in Carneros, an event in the southern part of the valleys dedicated to small wine producers, some of whom are not open regularly - if at all - to the public.
A chance to sip and see things you might not sip and see normally. Mark the end-of-April weekend on your calendars for next year.
Do believe there's also a Holiday in Carneros weekend in November, which is pretty much the same.
Here's a Web site. Check it out.

More to tell, but my drivers are motioning me back to the car. Gurgle and run time.
