This vineyard is at the base of Atlas Peak. We brought in 4 tons of fruit, producing just 240 cases. The harvest was interrupted by the rain that year so we harvested on two different days and then blended the finished wines together when they were both through fermentation. It was aged in new French oak barrels for 30 months. It is a big, fruit-forward wine. The lush nose opens up with aromas of cherry-cola, dark chocolate and licorice. There is a full mouth that finishes with just the right tannin management to leave your mouth dry but full of flavor, ready for the next taste. This wine will continue to improve in the bottle for the next 10 years."</i></p> This wine is very limited, however, for a short time only, you can get <strong>10% OFF</strong> the retail price by using this link to email the winemaker - <a href="mailto:gustavot@napanet.net">GustavoThrace</a> Sandra Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05054525963927529953noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22512122.post-63805673974156009412009-02-24T08:14:00.001-08:002009-02-24T08:14:55.231-08:00Pahrump in the Winter of 2009<p>Here we are in Pahrump, at the Seven Palms RV Park and Campground. Last night I came to realize the severity of the chemtrails that are being put into our skies.

They also had analysis of the STUFF that was in those trails, ew, yukky, pew.

Camp Pussy did, you d'camp pussy? When your bones are so cold that you can't even sit still and you can't build a fire in the dark, you go warm up the car... Start d'car! Warm that sucker up and you can finally thaw out and relax, dang, frozen fucking fog? I be d'camp pussy, in d'car. When the leaves crunch when you walk on them and your tears of laughter are making ice cubes on your eyelashes, you'd be d'camp pussy too. Burn some petrol and warm up or else you be d'ignorant camp pussy and I'd much rather be a warm pussy than clenched up frozen pussy. The sun is coming up and warming everything on this magnificent day, but not soon enough for my pussy dog and me. We're somewhere near the Merced River with all the ducks and geese. Not many campers out this weekend, pussies. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_HrU-wEc5lCA/SYYAFDcBtTI/AAAAAAAABqI/WMUKTCKjyA0/s1600-h/sumbeams%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="184" alt="sumbeams" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_HrU-wEc5lCA/SYYAFUofaOI/AAAAAAAABqM/QS-OslvKjAQ/sumbeams_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_HrU-wEc5lCA/SYYAF88_6hI/AAAAAAAABqQ/mRHkcwegGIQ/s1600-h/mist%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="184" alt="mist" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_HrU-wEc5lCA/SYYAGGuaVYI/AAAAAAAABqU/-hnYSf62W5I/mist_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>Camping photos.</p> Sandra Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05054525963927529953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22512122.post-29515204765653005292008-12-26T16:30:00.001-08:002008-12-26T16:30:57.263-08:00Champagnes Anyone?<p><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=7dVCsGPU0/8&offerid=141854.10000001&subid=0&type=4" target="new"><img alt="Personal Wine" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=7dVCsGPU0/8&bids=141854.10000001&subid=0&type=4&gridnum=7" border="0" /></a></p> <p>So, if you're going online to get your champagnes for the new year, you might as well get them at personalized wines.

What is fractal art? (by Second Life artist: Spiral Silverstar)</strong> </p> <p>Simply put, fractals are shapes which show similar features at different sizes. Much as a very close inspection of a rock can show similar features to an aerial view of a mountain, fractal shapes are characterized by this property of self-similarity. </p> <p>Much of what goes into fractals is based on mathematics. Sometimes the math is complicated; sometimes it isn't. But you do not need to <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_HrU-wEc5lCA/SVJBYF2ssNI/AAAAAAAABjE/HFD72C5cZhY/s1600-h/sculpture04_001%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="232" alt="sculpture04_001" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_HrU-wEc5lCA/SVJBcIJCoXI/AAAAAAAABjI/q5voJsvBFCc/sculpture04_001_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="120" align="left" border="0" /></a>know or understand the mathematics behind the art to appreciate it.  The basic images are created using fractal generating software. </p> <p>There are some who will feel that if this is all just based on mathematics, that it cannot be art. Fractal art does not pop out of nowhere, mathematics notwithstanding. To produce an aesthetically pleasing fractal image requires enormous input on the part of the artist. It also requires patience, and an eye for form and color—skills that are required for virtually any artistic discipline. (Damien Jones) </p> <p>Can't Anyone produce fractal art?  The simple answer is Yes.  However, Anyone can buy a camera and take snapshots, but very few can produce photographs that can be appreciated as art. </p> <p>The images created in this gallery were made using the Ultra Fractal and Fractal Explorer software programs, with post-processing work done in Photoshop. </p> <p>I hope you enjoy my work and realize that the finished products here are not simply the result of clicking a few random buttons.  Thanks for taking an interest in my art, my passion. </p> Sandra Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05054525963927529953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22512122.post-17130679792957586842008-12-17T07:14:00.001-08:002008-12-17T07:14:18.752-08:00Artist's Statement<p>My art is an interpretation of something that flows through me, so the art neither begins nor does it end with me. The viewer might say something about it to someone else or use it to illustrate a love letter, etc. It is my belief that the art itself - has a life of its' own and just uses me like the epicurean whore that I am as it flows in from the top of my head, down through my arm, into my fingers and out through the brush. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_HrU-wEc5lCA/SUkXRL6-YwI/AAAAAAAABfs/op23CjMnYF8/s1600-h/blueturmoilCU%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="640" alt="blueturmoilCU" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_HrU-wEc5lCA/SUkXSnJHPnI/AAAAAAAABfw/l-kUJ3p004c/blueturmoilCU_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="603" border="0" /></a></p> Sandra Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05054525963927529953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22512122.post-82139491570196774612008-09-20T06:03:00.001-07:002008-09-20T06:03:43.545-07:00Painting Art Outside in the Garden<p>I've painted a series of color images that stand outside the front of my house, I wanted to do something BIG ever since we did the 140X140 street painting at Copia in Napa so I started painting the big boards in my backyard.</p> <p><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/NapaStar/SNBqwnAuQPI/AAAAAAAABIE/ma2Ya5IMrtg/s512/Flur2.png" /> This is the first one.

I think I'd like a circular light shape behind the plant, in front of the background, transparent. And then I painted this:</p> <p><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/NapaStar/SNBqtTHGfII/AAAAAAAABH0/nc0DFWnWVZk/s512/blueturmoil.png" />  I call it "Blue Turmoil" I have a fifth board to paint and will post it here.

Broad and filling on the palate, the intense red fruit characteristics are elevated by the wine's superb acidity and fine, integrated tannins, all of which lead to a long, pure finish.

On the palate, the wine is lush and weighty, dominated by flavors of lemon drops, slate, petrol and honey, followed with hints of lavender, cured ham and mint all of which intermingle and integrate through the long, uplifted finish. Almost baby-oil like amounts of glycerin capture the masses of fruit and exotic aroma and flavor components, while the wines excellent acidity keeps the whole package lively and fresh and lifts the wine through the long, focused finish. <em>$13.95/btl -</em> <h2><a href="http://calwine.com" target="_blank">BUY THEM HERE</a></h2></blockquote> Sandra Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05054525963927529953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22512122.post-75396971501408572522008-07-25T07:46:00.001-07:002008-07-25T07:46:34.340-07:00Want FIRST DIBS?<p> </p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400" border="0"><tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"><a href="http://www.nexternal.com/shared/affiliates/?CS=calwine&Affiliate=4&Target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexternal.com%2Fcalwine%2FProduct3924">2005 Opus One Napa Valley</a> ~ PRE-RELEASE, we expect shipments to begin September 1st 2008 - order 6 bottles or more for special price, <strong>$159.95/bottle</strong> or get one for $169.95 I know, it's expensive, but it's Opus.

The quality of this Napa Valley hand-made wine speaks for itself. If you love cabernet, you should try some BOODEAUX! Scott Becker is one of those winemakers that doesn't produce very much wine and the wine he does produce doesn't last very long. Seeing the wine industry in the Napa Valley transform poor farmers into gentlemen farmers, in 1997 he purchased 20 acres Capel Valley (just over the hill from Lake Hennessey) in which 3.5 planted to Cabernet and half an acre planted to Primitivo. With his trusty companion, Boodeaux (Rhodesian ridgeback) and the sage advice of Jeff Smith of Dusinberre Cellars & Bob Milat of Milat Vineyards, he has released his first wines. There are only about 50 cases of 2003 Boodeaux Cabernet left. $38. per bottle, but call Scott and ask him about a case discount.Sandra Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05054525963927529953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22512122.post-25425981088896359602008-05-31T07:23:00.000-07:002008-05-31T07:50:19.516-07:002005 Chateau St. Jean Reserve Chardonnay Sonoma<a href="http://www.chateaustjean.com/stjean/images/content/Products/CSJ_91836_D.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.chateaustjean.com/stjean/images/content/Products/CSJ_91836_D.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I know what you want, you want the good stuff, right?
