Robert Mondavi.

On Sunday, we went to a winery in the Napa Valley called Robert Mondavi. He was one of the first in the area to really get into the tourist winery business.

The building was styled on a Spanish them and was quite stunning. The artwork (polar bear) was by an artist named Benny Bufano.


He had a nice backyard.




An interesting bathroom....


And some cool doors.


This was a 16th century Spanish wine press.


We went on a tour to learn about the winery, sample some wines and try them with various cheeses. These were the other Americans on our tour, with the tour guide on the right and of course, Louise on the left.


Their more modern hydraulic wine press.


The underground wine cellar.


Which was kept at 90% humidity, hence the water mist being sprayed.


And finally, tasting the cheese and wine.


It's alright, don't adjust your computer... Americans can't take sharp photos...
