More Napa Valley autumn

Excellent photographs. The Grape shot is really ahhhhhhhsome.

Either..... very nice. Hope you throw one in the "Fall" mix.

remind me of "Sideways."

Well, that shows how much I know about wine, I guess. :shrug:

I was shooting for a brochure for my client. The pressings are boring photographically, but interesting from the winemaking stand point. I shot three pressings, the first is a blockbuster cab, the second a lighter cab and the third is a take-the-enamel-off-your-teeth petite syrah. It was all amazing stuff just coming out of the press without any aging. In a couple of years when it's released it will be dynamite. All in all, 2005 was an excellent year. There was more grapes than anticipated. Keep your eye open for the 2005 cabs in a couple of years. Major wineries ran out of room to process the stuff and will have sold it to smaller guys. You should see some relatively unknown labels with great wine in a couple of years... at good prices, I might add.

And both are great shots. I like the grapes but then like the vineyard too. Good thing I don't have to pick a favorite.
