wine country 2005

several days of a wine and friends along the russian river. homebase at the river chelsea. a notable breakfasting at dipsea, then hanna, de loach, a stop by bear republic, ferrari-carano, teldeschi (an oldschool zin vinyard), hopkiln, and an epic multi-headed culinary critical hit.
