Although they call St. Petersburg, Russia home, Michael and Inessa Garmash, along with their 14-year-old daughter, Polina, travel together at least four to five times a year. Their adventures have taken them around the world, through much of Europe and the United States. Most recently, the pair traveled to Napa with Michael Young and Tim Dickson, to visit Tim’s parents home at Dickson Napa Ranch and immerse themselves in the beautiful California countryside.
Their fall visit coincided with the annual grape harvest in the vineyard. The timing was magical as they were able to see the beginning of the transition of the grapes becoming wine. Winemaking can be compared to painting because the harvest is like putting the first brush stoke on the canvas – creating an excellent wine is an ancient and respected art form.
