Our villa caretaker, Alex, took Mebane and I to the local butcher. The butcher was an experience unto itself. We wanted to enjoy the beautiful pergola and grill.

The grill burns wood which then drops onto the stone pad to make charcoal.

It is so nice - Daphne took 40 pictures so future builders could build a larger version at one of her future homes.

The pictures give you a sense of the evening - relaxed, good weather, nice wine (we bottled), and good food.

Totally lost on the kids.
LOVE all the pics! You guys definitely look right at home - wine cellar, caretaker, vineyard :-) Not too shabby! xo Gret
