Dear Peter,
I know it’s our tradition to leave notes for each other in hotels around the world and for me to send you these electronic postcards as I travel on my own, but today I have decided to begin the Napa Bottle Blog since I am out and about doing the entire area scene.

There’s going to be a Born to Shop California Wine Country, so I will have a lot more to report on besides Napa, but right now I am living in the Westin Verasa in East Napa, California.

New York-based photographer Brandon Remler bought his first camera in 1982 and has been snapping photos ever since.

His enthusiasm for photography led to a career in the photography industry, with stints at Canon USA, Eastman Kodak and currently, Fujifilm USA, Inc.

While traveling around rural New York, Remler used a mixture of both digital and film cameras from Fujifilm and Canon to take his shots–a grand total of five different cameras ranging in price from $250 to $3000.

Dear Peter,

I am about to do a huge tour of Napa and California Wine Country for a new book, so I kicked off the research the way anyone would—in the city of San Francisco.

It was just a quickie visit, but the main purpose was to attend a re-corking workshop, something I had never even heard about before.
