Ceago - Biodynamic and Nice (that's Neece)

I was up in Lakeport for the Sustainable Winegrowers workshop hosted by the Lake County Wine Commission not too long ago. It was held at Ceago in Nice, CA which is breathtaking in its Mediterranean style on the shores of Clear Lake. Jim Fetzer's attention to details like the lavender garden, the "recycled" palm and olive trees, the juniper walled 10-top for his up coming restaurant along with his commitment to biodynamic grape growing were topped off with a beautiful clear day. In my estimate it was a perfect event. Jim gave us a tour of the "vinegarden". His willingness to share with others the steps he's followed to be biodynamic was refreshing.  And Shannon and the team did a great job with the event.   I thought I'd share a few photos of the view.
