Here are some photos from the event.
produce for the picnic. Watermelons, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes and carrots.
bread in a basket. The lighting in the bar was wonderful.
Crocks and jars with pickles and pickled carrots. The stoneware crocks have a little “moat” around the rim that is designed to seal the pickling contents from outside air when filled with water.

The Alexander Valley Bar has some pretty sweet decorations.
There’s a large garden outside of the Medlock Ames tasting room and a few sunflower fields just in front of the grape vines.

The dried and crushed sumac berries added a lemony taste to the onions
The picnic table outside had a custom trough that could be filled with ice to keep the wine cool.
