Nice work! Try reloading in a higher resolution.

El templo de las columnas ?que es¿, esta muy bien y la ?noria de que época es¿, son muy típicas de Murcia.

Es una bodega que se llama Darioush. Es una copia de un templo mesopotámio. Tienen una buena presentación de la historia geografía Su sitio se encuentra por buscar "darioush" y "winery".

Es una de mis favoritas. Tiene estilo de un templo mesopotámio por decisión de los dueños, dos hermanos de Iran.

Pero sí, me hace pensar en el templo de Diana en Sagunto, poco noreste de Valencia, y de la Dama de Elche.

Y la noria se hubiera construido a los fines del siglo XIX por los Bothe.

The state of California produces more wine per capita than the entire country of France.

[ConsilienceTeacher]

That's funny because there's a sign south of St. Helena that says only 4% of Napa County is planted in grapes.

I can't get this video to play today. Is anyone else having trouble?

[ConsilienceTeacher]

It must have been Yountville. I think all the others are in built up areas.

[stephsHOT286]

My daughter just moved to Napa less than a week ago. I'm glad she's in such a beautiful place. (Sure beats Cleveland!) The song is so fitting for her. Great video. Thanks.

[ConsilienceTeacher]

Did you get to help her move here? Or will you have to come some other time?

[stephsHOT286]

No, she flew out there. I would really like to go in a month or so. Can't wait!

[ConsilienceTeacher]

That'll be a good time. Everything will be green. You will have a chance to leave the snow for a bit.

[stephsHOT286]

It's only January, and I'm already sick of the cold and snow. We could use a little sunshine here in Cleveland too. Just knowing that I will be visiting Napa is making it easier to get through it all.

[NapaValleyEstates]

@stephsHOT286 But cleveland has Alister Beg! The Man!

Pretty place when the sun is rising and setting though.

[ConsilienceTeacher]

So true.  I leave for work at about 6.30, so I frequently see the sun rise. Often it's barely over the hills when I get to Vintage.

[AmaranteXyph]

I don't like the vines so much because of all the pesticides and chemicals they spray.

I went to a middle school that was right next to a vineyard and practically killed me.

Allergies as well as athsma don't mix too well with it. =/

[AmaranteXyph]

Well, I don't enjoy the snobby rich old wine drinkers. Not to say theres anything wrong with the lifestyle. But they just get so full of themselves that it makes it suck here.

Theres enough grape vines to choke a small village with here.

They've removed practically everything for the youth. =/

Born and raised in the Napa Valley. I hate it, yet I love it.

[ConsilienceTeacher]

Snobs - right.

Vines - right, but better than apartment buildings, etc.

Youth - right.

Neither born nor raised here. It's pleasant enough, though there are other places I'd rather be, would go even, if we didn't have friends here now.

[AmaranteXyph]

I hate living here, but I love living here? Is this possible? lol

[ConsilienceTeacher]

I enjoy my commute every morning because the valley can be clear at the same time we see fog over the hills to east and west. On the other hand, it can show the complexity of all the microclimates with the patchy, swirling fog on the valley floor.

I don't enjoy slow, drink drivers, but if that's the most troubling thing I suffer in life, I don't have much to complain about.

[tygiants24]

i like the song

[yusux]

hey thats pretty neat

[chefksm]

The Newsboys kick ass. I think I saw God on the path to the Bale grist mill. Great pics. They transported me back to Napa. Thanks

[Oksana96]
