Conservatory's Wine Festival Outing

Nana and Papa enjoyed a couple days downtown at the Mining Exchange to attend two events of the Conservatory's Wine Festival. Fosters and Reguscis had donated a number of Regusci and Daou wines along with Hunt Cellars and Rodney Strong (all California despite the South American theme of this year's event). Made for a great couple of days!

We also visited the historical museum downtown.

The gourmet pairing event at Lumin8.

Macbeth

DCC Theatre's Spring show was Macbeth: an Original Adaption which closed this evening. Here are some photos, mostly from the cast party setup. Antonio was in the Ensemble and Matteo was the Lighting Chief.






Got redder as the night went on...

New Nursery

Lexi moved up into one of the 3rd floor bedrooms (Matteo has the other), so her "old room" (originally an office) has become the nursery, primarily for the foster kids. Pretty cool, eh!

Lallier Champagne

While on our European river cruise a couple months ago, we met some folks who turned out to be related to the family of Lallier Champagne. We finally got some and gave it a try today. Quite good!
