Our daughter-in-law planned the most amazing day for us. It couldn't have been more perfect.

| We began our day in the darling town of Cloverdale, at Ruth McGowan's.Brewpub for their Cloverdale beers. |

| Next stop was a stroll through the quaint village of Geyserville (1851), known as the Wine Capital of Sonoma County. |

| The Francis Ford Coppola Winery was the most opulent vineyard we have ever been to and I wanted to live there- a truly special stop on our Sonoma Day. |

| Bocce courts and a swimming pool... what a place! |

| Francis puts it best, saying the winery is “a
wine wonderland, a park of pleasure where people of all ages can enjoy
all the best things in life – food, wine, music..." |

| While this is a winery, it is also a museum dedicated to the craft of Coppola the screenwriter, director and producer. Note that behind us is a display case for Apocalypse Now. |

After reluctantly leaving the vineyard, we continued on to the wonderful town of Healdsburg for dinner and Racer 5 beers at the Bear Republic.

This amazing day was a sojourn for all the senses and we delighted in so much of what makes Sonoma County famous. What a day!

You guys sure know how to have a good time!
And your daughter-in-law sure knows how to dress! I always love her outfits.
I LOVE Coppola wine. It is a little pricey compared to my Trader's buys but well worth it.
