Ranger Does Napa

Come all my hearties, we'll range the mountainside
Together we will plunder, together we will ride

[An aside: We are flummoxed by the fact that that
Google ads has decided Ranger is a good place
for a Wall Street Journal advert.
Makes us look like some kind of undercover gig.]

Happy Earth Day.

This is open invitation to any Northern California/Southern Oregon readers: Ranger will be in your neck o' the woods for two weeks, beginning next week. If you'd like to have a meet-and-greet, write us and we'll see what can be done.

He is doing a confab with some of his reunion mates in Napa next week; the following is open.

Ranger can guar-an-tee he will not lift his pinky finger when swilling the wine. We all know Sideways put the final nail in the coffin of Napa, so while his fellows are doing the right proper vineyard tours, he will probably drive over the mountain to Sonoma to look for more rugged gigs.

Recommendations are welcome. Tell us your favorite down-home, out of the way joints (does Napa have joints?)
