Shelly, Renee, Ginger and Kathy at Sterling Vineyard

This year, the Sisters went back to Calistoga, but stayed at Roman Spa Hot Springs, a different place from their 2012 Sister Weekend. They spent 2 nights away for the first time, which allowed a full day together without travel. They visited Sterling Vineyards and took the tram up to the wine tasting.
