Serendipity seems to happen when I'm on the wine trail...

An overnight stop on a long drive from Portland, Oregon to San Francisco, a tourist leaflet in the motel lobby and spur of the moment decision to visit the winery on the leaflet - which I'd never heard of.....

Then when I arrived being mistaken for a group member who'd been delayed..

Result = standing in an 800 year-old Cistercian Chapter House... in a California vineyard!

Amazing...

Read about it and see my pictures in New Clairvaux Vineyards 800 Year Old Building
