I can honestly think of no better place on earth right at the moment than being here in the Dry Creek Valley.  The vineyards have begun their seasonal growing cycle and new green buds have leaped toward Mother Nature's warmth.  The hillsides are aglow with emeraldVineyard in the Spring - click photo to enlarge! green from winter rains and warm temperatures have greeted us early this year bringing out an abundance of wild flowers.  Sometimes it takes getting away to truly appreciate where you live.  

This past week, I was traveling back East for business. The weather was still a tad cold and gray. My family in the northeast has experienced an especially difficult winter with record snowfalls. I'm glad to have missed all that excitement, but heading "home" always reminds me of what a crazy, busy bustle other parts of our country are. I think sometimes I take for granted living where we live. It's really a cornucopia of life's best things - wine, food, agriculture, art and people. Of course, my roots are from the East Coast, but let me tell you, getting on that plane to come home to California never felt so good!
