Harvest and Crush

Harvest and Crush. The rain will push out the crushes for the next few days. I am looking forward to photographing a crush when the weather passes.

Cornerstone Place, Photog Heaven

Sticks and Bark in a Cage


Since opening in 2004, Cornerstone Gardens have enjoyed international attention, heralded as a garden attraction unlike any other in North America. The imaginative and unusual setting attracted retailers and producers with a true appreciation for the environment in which they choose to operate - and in the summer of 2007 the site was renamed Cornerstone Place, incorporating an eclectic collection of shops and wine tasting rooms, as well as a café and marketplace skirting nine-acres of artfully designed gardens and private event spaces.
Cornerstoneplace hours 10:00 am to 5:00 pm (Gardens close at 4:00 pm). *note: On weekends the gardens may close as early as 3:00 pm for special events, it is recommended to call ahead for specific garden hours.
Cornerstone Place invites visitors to discover, imagine, explore and escape the everyday. For docent-guided garden tours of the gardens and information regarding private events contact the Cornerstone Place administrative offices at 707.933.3010 www.cornerstoneplace.com.

  The Napa Valley is a famous vintner's paradise, with its long, warm summers and mild winters. Naturally, this also makes it a gardener's paradise, and longtime Napa winery owner Molly Chappellet has an intimate knowledge of each nook and cranny of this horticultural Eden. Napa Valley's oldest gardens were planted around 1860, at about the same time grapevines were introduced to the region, and though there are only a handful of these, their enormous oaks and antique roses perfectly fit the image of old Napa homesteads. The gardens at Schramsberg, Beaulieu, Spottswoode, Krug, and the Niebaum estate (now owned by Francis and Eleanor Coppola), to drop a few well-known winery names, fall into this category.
  
  Chappellet and her collaborator, Richard Tracy, define "new gardens" as those developed since 1960, some by the
  enthusiastic new winemakers who brought new life to the Napa region. These gardens are numerous, breathtakingly
  beautiful, and have apparently provided abundant employment to a number of talented landscape designers over the past
  three decades. In many cases, a heroic amount of work was done to tame, for example, a rocky hillside into a proper
  Mediterranean-style villa garden, and Chappellet and Tracy note the details down to the individual plant names. The
  numerous color photographs, clearly often taken at daybreak and just before sunset,
  show off the calm, lush gardens to perfection. - Amazon.com
