Charlie didn't do much wine tasting either, but we did. In the Napa Valley to be exact. Francis Ford Coppola used the money he made with the Godfather films to buy a vineyard, now known as Rubicon. For $25 we had a little tour and history of the winery and got to taste five different types of wine. The Zinfandel was my favourite. It would go nice with a meal, especially if it's a roast of some kind. Bunny? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
The large house on the estate also had a small museum devoted to film history and had props from some of Coppola's films. The surfboard above is of course from Apocalypse Now.
The desk you see is where Michael Corleone sat and conceived his misdeeds. There really is a town in Sicily called Corleone. B and I visited back in 1992.
