This is a picture in front of the Ledson Winery in Sonoma. This ended up being our favorite winery we visited. Not only was it the most beautiful, the wines were incredible. So complex and infused with some unique flavors. The staff was very knowledgeable and the pours were quite generous. Maybe that's why we enjoyed it so much...
Mario Andretti has a winery? Does he ever have a winery. This is in Napa Valley not far from the town center. The winery looks like you are stepping back into the Italian old country. Really beautiful. And they served their own wine at the race.
Now we are at the race. What an experience! We had VIP passes compliments of the Andretti team. These passes got us into the sponsor booths and down in the pit. This is in front of Tony Kanaan's pit stop station. We were right there!
Drivers....start your engines...well...warm up first.
The race was an all day event. Activities begin at 8:00am and the big race doesn't start until 3:00. We got to see the Indy light races, the drifter races, classics races, and the very cool air show. Unfortunately, none of the riders from the Andretti team won the big race (there was an unfortunate crash at the beginning that Tony, Danica, and Marco were involved in), but we had a blast. If you ever get the opportunity to go to an Indy race, do it. Just bring your earplugs and sunscreen!
