Napa Winemaker Conference

On the patio at Domaine Carneros, working diligently . . .
Yee-haw! After a year of conferences crammed into two months of work in only 21 days (math was never my strong suit, but my geometry is good enough for me to describe hyperbole) I'm home and resting comfortably. Last stop was a stint in the stupendously gorgeous Napa Valley, for the Winemaker Magazine 2009 conference.
I was a featured speaker there, giving two lectures and participating in a panel discussion, and I got to hang out with a great bunch of folks, including fellow writers, winemakers, retailers, allied trades and such. We had some great meals, visited some wonderful wineries, and had some epic evenings of conviviality and fellowship--and not a little wine.

It's always a ball at the Winemaker Conference!
I've got a bunch of blogging to catch up on, meals, people, wineries and the lectures, but it's got to wait a bit: the Indy International Wine competition is June 1st, and my entries have to be on a truck by 4 pm tomorrow, or I'm in for it. Heck, I haven't even finished the 'live' blogging I was doing for Winemaker yet!
