On Track

My grandfather, Vincent DeDomenico, was an epicure — from Sunday morning brunches, to the glass of red wine at dinner. This would come as no surprise to you if you know that he was one of the Wine Train’s founders and the CEO for 18 years. But something that you may not have known is that he was also a connoisseur of coffee. My mother remembers that when she was a child, coffee always came from the inside of a can. At breakfast, when my grandparents would make the morning coffee, they would complain that the grounds would lose their flavor a couple of days after opening a new can. “Why does the coffee taste so good when we fi rst open the can, but after that, a new brewed pot is never the same?”

It is just a normal Napa Valley Wine Train dinner train heading North to St. Helena. Guests are relaxing and enjoying their wine and conversations now that the dinner plates have been cleared. But one guest in the Vista Dome, is extremely nervous. He fidgets, trying to keep his cool. He looks up at his beautiful girlfriend only briefly before gazing back out the window. Although he wants to savor this moment forever, he
knows it is almost time.
