WTN: Crossing the Rubicon

by David M. Bueker » Fri Jan 16, 2026 4:17 pm

We’re at the Napa Valley Continuing Care Retirement Community. The 1997 Niebaum-Coppola Rubicon is still hanging onto its spot in Independent Living, though it bought a rollator and the kids made it give up the keys to the car. It’s still a pleasant dinner companion, and even wears a jacket and tie. Assisted living isn’t far off, when it inevitably starts to fail at an ADL, but maybe that day is further away than we expect. Not a lot of structure left though, so if it becomes a fall risk the results could be bad.
