    I am relieved to see the weather for the Napa harvest is better than the weather in Bordeaux a week or so back. No wonder Napa wines are rising in price. In Bordeaux, the estates use cheaper labour from Portugal and Spain. In Napa, they use Chicago lawyers wearing expensive Swiss watches billing $$$ by the hour.

    Too funny, thanks Ralph for the first smile of my morning.

    That was a great report and photos, Michael. The CFDV appears to be the perfect watch for any occasion!

    SC and KS Low -actually, I thought the trousers were wine-color ;)

    KS --the wine is, in my opinion, among the best Cabs in California. We also drank from both the barrels and the Steel vats; the latter is before much fermentation.

    Tonny --this is what the Breitling guy saw:

    MF -

    Great report! Someone should start a thread where we all post something about our other interests too!

    The IWC web site has all kinds of living, culture and experience links. I guess anything that ties in with watches would be ok.
    For example, Nad already can get travel, hotels, food, friends, clothes, cars, cigars, family and more into a single post!

    What, no pictures of you crushing the grapes with bare feet, ala Lucy Arnaz? Looks like you and the DaVinci survived the weekend in good stead.

    Looks like a very different and enjoyable experience. I can imagine that lunch with wine in such a setting must be among the most pleasant!

    Great report and photos Mike!

    Michael brings up a good point about seeing double. My wife and I have taken a few of these Napa/ Sonoma trips. When I start seeing the double watch on one wrist I defer to my wife for further driving. She does not consume any alcohol and is my designated driver.

    A lovely weekend for the CFDV to be attached to you. I have done this in the Swiss mountains in Valais - but with bare wrists.

    Rave - I am still laughing at your post. Very funny.
