That's my classroom & I'm in the big hat surrounded by some of my sixth period students who were obviously read to trick or treat. (I'm a visiting Hogwarts professor.)

Sharyn & Bev hosted an end-of-summer party on Bev's deck . . . in front are zinfanel (& a bit of petit sirah I believe) to make Bev's Shed Red. We did a vertical tasting of several vintages--all the same grapes, all same vintner, all tasting unique--all-around great party!!

Okay, who had a fireplace like this when I was growing up?? Bev & Sharyn's Harvest Party in September, 2009.
