pretty impressive...i have some pictures on kodak gallery. www.kodakgallery.com login: cmatheny@cbhsec.com password: renegade50 saw it on sunday, 4/22 and was quite impressed...very in your face for napa valley. up on a hill just west of hwy 29. new growth vines surround a driveway that goes uphill. when you crest the hill, it's IN YOUR FACE. pretty amazing, pretty cool. daryl sattui has spent 13 years and $30M of his own money putting this together...121000 square feet and 107 rooms. allegedly, there is going to be a winery there.� i'm going to have to take the tour.

I have two local friends who just went there. Said it was amazing. They mentioned how each stone was hand chiseled before being placed, and that they purposely used different styles of architecture for different additions/wings on the building to simulate how they did such things back in the day.... using whatever building practices that were current for the year they were putting on an addition to the building.

If you drink wine, you get smarter....

There was a mention of it in the San Francisco Chronicle with a picture. I have to say it does get your attention. Thanks for the pictures.
