One evening in Chicago, long ago, at the Drake Hotel my brother, Robert, married this beautiful girl from Wisconsin named Kathryn Siegler. And we've all lived exceedingly happily ever after. Kat is a professional artist and has been focusing on photorealism. www.kathrynsiegler.com On this weekend, her birthday weekend, we celebrated in Calistoga, which is at the north end of Napa County. These photographs were taken at a pretty little cafe that is a sister restaurant to the famous Mustard's Grill, after we had visited Cakebread and Grgich Vineyards. Hence, the silliness.
What you don't see in these pictures is the most perfect ruby ring that Robert presented to her on the evening that we arrived in California, much to Kathryn's surprise.
