We traveled this year to several wonderful wine country regions of California. We made visits to Mendocino, Sonoma, the Napa Valley, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara and the Sierra Foothills. We took one trip abroad, to the amazing wine country of Burgundy and the Loire Valley. I took several thousands of photos both with my Canon 5D and my iPhone 6. I used the iPhone 6 extensively in Burgundy and Loire. For the first time, I did not lug around a big camera when traveling to Europe.
These are my favorite wine country photos 2014.

Joe and Janelle, a great year it was!
Please take a moment to ponder the beauty of wine country
Joe Becerra has been traveling to wine country and enjoying wine since 1965. He is a retired educator, and now have the time the opportunity to share his wine travel experiences through this Website.
Wonderful photos. Thanks
Jim, thanks for the comment. We will certainly have a chance to visit the York House in St. Helena in 2015. Hopefully sooner than later.
