Space Shuttle graces Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyards (video)

In its only pass over the San Francisco Bay Area, the Space Shuttle Endeavour, mounted atop a Boeing 747, graced the skies over the Santa Cruz Mountains this morning (September 21, 2012).  As part of its final mission, I’m nearly certain that the purpose of this flight was to add a magical touch to the wines made from grapes grown in these mountains, especially the Ridge Montebello harvest for 2012.  This video was taken from a parking lot just three miles from the foothills below Montebello.  As a big space geek, the fly over gave me goose bumps.  I’ll have to open something special tonight to commemorate the event.

(wait about a minute for the video to load)
