53 acres of California art

Surprising sculptures, including "I've been saved!"

Natural beauty too...
Little house of wine bottles
My all-time favorite artist, Joan Brown
A delightful Bischoff
Roy De Forest
Peacocks ~ gorgeous, loud, pushy and numerous
Resting on the front lawn
Inside the home
Everywhere ~ art!
We know Al Farrow from the deYoung ~
chapels and synagogues from bullets
Nine miles north to Yountville for lunch
Croque Madame for this madam

Lamb sausage sandwich and no, we
didn't finish the fries. Honest.
Rene di Rosa was a winemaker who collected art. Lots and lots
of unbelievable treasures. We have been to di Rosa before too,
but it's impossible to appreciate and retain all that is here, so
one needs to return every few years because it is just such a
magnificent experience. You have to take a tour, but it's nice
and casual and we were able to wander around on our own
most of the time. Mr. di Rosa died a few months ago, but the
Preserve will continue and if you haven't been, go!
