NAPA WINTER WORK


Napa vineyard worker tying off new vines getting ready for spring's harvest of great wines. Thank goodness it is not raining and the sun is warm for the hard workers, but of course the good rains and mud is a sign of a great harvest.

CUSTOM PANTRY



Quintessa Winery

The top photo is a small view of the pantry and storage room I designed for Quintessa Winery here in Napa Valley. On the other side from this view we stored all the pouring wines on adjustable high quality recycled wood coated with melamine shelving. In this photo one can see where Quintessa Winery staff will store the supplies for the water and cheeses that they serve with the wine. Here is also where we built a space for their new refrigerator topped with stainless steel counter that can be sanitized upon cleaning up. It is fun to be able to see behind the scenes of our great Napa Valley wineries. Napa is not just grapes and wines, it's hard work in every aspect. So enjoy our wines and keep us all working - support California...

Rabbi Yehuda Ferris of the Chabad of Berkeley arranged a fun gathering to celebrate the opening of the new Amba Restaurant in Montclair Village in the Oakland hills. The food was amazing. I have always had to wait to get to Los Angeles to eat a good falafel, now we have one closer at home and it is Kosher.
