Napa Valley
December 2001 my dad and I spent a little get away weekend in California's Sonoma and Napa Valleys. A paradise, of course! "Home" my father suggested in his ongoing persuasion to prevent me from moving to New York City. No, dear Dad Calastoga will have to wait for retirement. My young soul cannot resist the burning passion of New York City residency.

Old Faithful Geyser
One of the very few "Old Faithful" geysers located in Calastoga, CA erupts approximately every seven minutes. Scientists are measuring if a correlation to geyser eruptions and earthquakes exists.
My dear Dad
Cyprus trees at one of the most beautiful wineries. My dad and I toured the winery and learned how the wine is made and enjoyed the many sculptures in their massive gardens.

I forget the name, perhaps I partook in too many tasting???
Red Red Wine
Neil Diamond loves it and so do I.
Sterling Vineyard
Sterling Vineyard was spectacular - this picture was taken from the cable car on the way atop to the tasting building.
Petrified Forest

Culinary Institute of America
This is the primary reason we went... my dad loves this restraunt.
