Napa Valley, Nov. 20, 2004

I thought winter would be the low season for Napa Valley. I thought it would look bleak and drozy in the bright winter sunlight. But I was in for a pleasant surprise. The leaves on the vine apparently still think it is Fall. The color was a feast to the eyes, while the wine tasting toxicated me. I drunk in the color as well as the sunlight.

			As we pulled into its driveway, we felt like being placed onto God Father film set. Climbing up the stately heavy wooden staircase, it felt like Marlo Brendo could came down the stair at any moment and gave us his hand to kiss. :)
