Hanging out in the wine cellar

As seen in: California


After a great tasting at Castle de Amorosa in the Napa Valley a couple of days ago, I was lucky enough to get a few minutes in the cellar. They were well past closing time, but I was able to sweet talk the lady that treated me to a great tasting of their reserves into letting me capture a few images down there. I could have spent an hour there but I was pushing it as it was. Perhaps next time, I’ll work on a better focus job. I’ll blame it on the wine this time (haha)! Enjoy.

    love the detail that creates the texture.

    You heard about the earthquake? I was at work when it happened and it freaked me out. I have earthquake phobia (don’t know how that came about) and my eyes watered up. I hate earthquakes…ReplyCancel

    That’s a beautiful shot of the cellars at Castello di Amorosa. It’s a 13th Century Tuscan-style castle and winery located in Calistoga in the Napa Valley. Thank you for sharing such an excellent capture.
