Sheri Ziebell, Amanda Safford, Richard Thomas, Sculptor

Richard Thomas, Sculptor and his wife, Sheri Ziebell, had the pleasure of visiting Raymond Vineyards in beautiful Napa Valley on July 24th.  They were given a personal tour by Amanda Safford, the incredible Tasting Room Manager.  Amanda treated Sheri and Richard to a delightful and delicious wine tasting while taking in the 95-acre vineyard with spectacular breathtaking views in every direction.  Richard and Sheri also had the great fortune to meet Jean-Charles Boisset, President of Boisset Family Estates, a family-owned collection of estate wineries.  Jean-Charles was gracious enough to share his vision of the property improvements at Raymond Vineyards which sound fascinating and will bring an even richer family, community feel to the winery. The visit was inspirational for Richard Thomas, as he is always thinking of his next sculpture.   Sheri Ziebell, Richard Thomas’ wife was clad in purple; her favorite Napa color and Jean-Charles was captivated by the purple and emphasized his love for purple by showing off his purple socks as well as purple shoes laces!!
