Yesterday, Friday, it was off to Napa Valley and a tour of Castello di Amorosa, an authentically built 13th century Tuscan castle complete with a torture chamber. All the stone is from old castles and was shipped from Europe. It cost a total of $75 million to build this winery and it is the pet project of 4th generation vintner Dario Sattui. Here are two links about this winery.

The following photo is in the elaborate dinning hall. Dario hired two brothers from Italy to paint the walls and they spent 11 years completing the work. Just one reason it cost $75 million to build the place.
