We are currently celebrating my husband's birthday by having triple cream brie, a fresh baguette, some tiny gherkins, and more than a tad of a great bottle of wine for lunch - all in the lush California wine country. If ever there is a time to nap after lunch - it is in the wine country. The European cultures that nap after lunch have it right.
I've been thinking about all of those generations where people drank beer and wine throughout the day - how in the world did they ever get anything accomplished?

I have wondered the same thing. Happy celebrating!
Now THAT is a great way to commemorate a birthday! And then you share it? Thank you!
I think they watered it down.
I have heard the the 'siesta' countries are trying to do away with it as it makes doing business with non-siesta countries difficult.

Ellen - I think it should be the other way around!
So happy you are enjoying the wine country. It's peaceful walking among the vineyards, isn't it?
I think our culture could benefit from afternoon siestas. I hope on your next post, you will recommend some fabulous wines.
Happy Birthday to your husband. Happy Mother's Day to you.
I know I'm not worth much after a couple glasses of wine!

It sounds delightful and those grapes make me drool. Happy Birthday to your hubby.
Here - I wouldn't hesitate to suggest some fine wines, but was a little disappointed that they were not pouring their less expensive wines. It seemed as though they were all over $25 per bottle. A change from our last visit - 12 years ago.
Pat - Thank you! I'm not either, a couple glasses and I'm pretty much finished for the day.
Gypsy - Thank you! I hope you had a lovely day as well.
T- Thank you - same to you!
Claudia - Thank you! You must stop a sip a few wines on your way to Clearlake.
Sallie - Yep, not bad!
Riter - Thank you! I loved your addition of all women who want to become mothers...
