December – a time for Giving.
The wisdom of the Bible tells us there is a time for everything. Reaping, sowing, living, December is the time for giving. Our favorite charities at Segway Napa are Compassion International and Segs 4 Vets. Speaking of charities (nice segue, huh?) have you checked out the website to Small Lot Wine Tours? www.smalllotwinetours.com They are featuring 4 different wineries in the valley that give back.
1. Ehlers Estate-Heart Warming
2. Hill Family Estate
3. Humanitas-Drink Charitably
4. Clark-Claudon-Cab Cares
With our struggling economy, it’s difficult to find that extra dollar to donate. I gave up my latte’s for a week – that was NOT easy! And buying a bottle of good Napa Valley wine where the proceeds go to good causes, well, that IS easy!
December, so far, has been a very slow month for us – we have had one Team Building tour.
Well, we did expect that to happen, so we were prepared. It was a lot of fun, gliding in the vineyards. The lone vine you see, it's called an Old Soldier and is located in the famous ToKalon Vineyard. 
It was planted in the 1940's. These photos show what Napa Valley looks like in December – still very pretty! The video is not great quality - heck, it was done with a pocket digital - however, you can hear the bells ringing from the Carmelite Monastary. It was so pretty to be out in the vineyards and hear the song of the bells.
Wait until you see March, with all the mustard in bloom!!!
Merry Christmas to all of you!
