Trip to the country

Saturday Lex and I drove west from Davis through the countryside, dirt roads, fields of tomatoes and almond orchards, doing all the navigating with our smartphones. Dry-dry-dry. California has over 80% of the world production of almonds.We passed through the cute town of Winters, then past Lake Berryessa and over winding roads through the hills into the Napa Valley which is renowned for its vineyards and wineries.We passed hundreds of small and large wineries, and went to the Stag's Leap Wine Cellars for tasting.

Then we rushed on to Fairfield to catch the last tour of the Budweisser brewery. Budweisser is part of Anheuser-Busch, which in 2008 became part of InBev, the largest beer brewing company in the world. Very impressive, they have 120 huge chilled tanks holding a total of 25 million liters of beer !
