Another lovely day in the wine country. Up early to meet Rick at the mini dealership for the Mini Rally through Napa. In convoy through Son Francisco and over the fog-shrouded Golden Gate bridge and up Lucas Valley Road to a deli for lunch (with only three U-turns along the ways and then on to Niebaum Coppola for a raffle, cheese, wine and chat, then on to Greenfield winery (best bargain wine in California). We dropped in on Rick's friends Celia and Mike and spent the evening chatting and drinking great wire and looking for bats and eating pizza. Fabulous!
