Napa

I like this photo because while it hints at the feeling of pretentious superiority of these people sharing a bottle of wine from the hills overlooking the vineyards of Napa, it retains a sense of informality with his shoes off and placed over to the side.
I saw this couple sitting there in front of us, and I thought, this is a cool picture, what a dumb ass I am for not bringing my camera. So I went to the car to fetch it and right when I got everything set up, they got up for a walk, taking their glasses and bottle of wine with them. Fortunately they came back about 20 minutes later and I was able to take a few shots of them.
In case you're curious, this was at the St. Celement Winery, a few miles north of St. Helena. You're probaly weren't, but I thought I'd mention it all the same.
