Maybe. Anyway, it was a bunch of monks that made wine. So maybe they were more jovial than that (and considering the wine making they probably had nothing to do with kids ;-)). It is the nicest and oldest building in Napa Valley, huge, stone and it looks like a monastry. Haven't got a

Nice framing within the frame, Marne. Looks like it was a beautiful old building. I do a fair bit of business with Christian Brothers Services, which I think is the successor organization to the brothers who used to run the winery. Still run by brothers. They exited the winder / distillery

Thanks Marnie. Actually, being encased in ice will protect the ivy from wind burn and subzero temperatures. It stays right at 32 degrees. When there's a severe frost, farmers sometimes spray water on their crops. Having them ice over is better than exposing them to the elements..
