A Look at Fess Parker Winery Los Olivos, California

-

My husband and I had the delightful opportunity to attend the Release Day wine event at the Fess Parker Winery in the Santa Ynez Valley.  Yes, it's thee Fess Parker from Davy Crockett TV show days.  He opened this winery and has a lovely Inn in Los Olivos.  He actually loved the Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez Valley areas and was at the winery a lot until his passing. What a great day trip to visit and admire the beautiful old towering oak trees and flowers among the rows of wine grapes.  The setting is a stunning example of a natural California landscape.





                             Four wine tasting stations and the scrumptious BBQ lunch was a delight...                                            not to mention the live Blue Grass music, Ventura Strings.







The tasting room is elegant with just a few memories of the legendary star of T.V such as photos and a coonskin cap on the bar.

Such a fun place to be on a cool Saturday in the Santa Ynez Valley!










The Inn at Los Olivos and don't forget the Inn at Santa Barbara.

Anjelica Huston's Three Rivers Ranch

Anjelica Huston is a beautiful woman who has a  simple yet  colorful, expressive ranch house  in Three Rivers, CA .  I'm featuring it because it's very near my home town.   She's one of my favorite actresses with so many credits to her name.  Most are not familiar with  "Family Pictures",  a two-part TV adaptation of the Sue Miller novel of the same name. Anjelica and Sam Neill are a 1950s married couple with six children, one of whom, Randall, is autistic . The parents' initial decision not to institutionalize the boy results in a terrific strain on the rest of the family.                         She also played an Italian in "Prizzi's Honor" directed by her father.     Vogue Italia  recognized Angelica's 60th birthday recently by displaying many of the above photos.  She is pictured with Jack Nicholson, her longtime friend.  At her ranch house at lef...
