Photos from today's trip to the Childress Vineyards and RCR

Vineyard, main building

Viogner? grapes
The two swans... cork and screw (not really, but it's pretty funny!)
The rest of the vineyard
Fermentation tanks
Aging barrels (all French White Oak)
Bottling machine (45 bottle per minute)
Chardonnay aging room
The RCR Museum that we didn't tour
Our favorite highway, Hwy. 3

So that's the end of the trip.

I also took some shots of the cars on pit lane, as well as the Dale Earnhardt Tribute Statue. If you are interested in purchasing any of those, head over to www.sydneydavisphoto.com and click on Online Store. I also have some other photos for sale over there too (from Hawaii, Colorado and the Ferrari Festival). Thanks for sharing my trip with me.

Also, in the coming weeks, be sure to check out www.stockcarcity.com, as I am the new editor of the site. The trip turned out to be productive on the job front as well. Thanks for everything yall.
