Culinary Institute of America


We stopped and viewed this old winery that has been changed into a culinary school for speciality cooking.

After the earthquake of 1989 it sat empty for a few years until it was bought and the owners spent 15 million dollars to renovate it and make it earthquake proof.

The view from the front door was breathtaking. We could have done a beef wellington tasting for $15 each.

They had a rare display of antique wine bottle openers.

It use to be The Christian Brothers Winery. We actually had been to the winery when it was still in operation about 30 years ago. If I knew you were going there I would have told you to have a least the dessert.
