Winter in Wine Country

Winter is a great time for photographers to visit wine country.  The symmetry of the rows in the vineyards can add patterns or leading lines to your compositions.  If you're into wine it's also a great time to chat with winemakers, as their Fall harvest is tucked safely away into barrels and the vines are dormant.  As Spring arrives, wild mustard often colors the space between the vines.  

In California we're particularly lucky to have a wide selection of wine regions, producing an incredible variety of world class wines.  Most wineries offer hours when they're open for tasting, and with many of the wine regions lying not far from the Bay Area or Los Angeles, finding wines you like can be a fun weekend pursuit.
