Nice framing within the frame, Marne. Looks like it was a beautiful old
building.
I do a fair bit of business with Christian Brothers Services, which I
think is the successor organization to the brothers who used to run the
winery. Still run by brothers. They exited the winder / distillery
business some time ago and now provide business services (employee
benefits, retirement plans, risk management). The folks I work with are
out of Romeoville, Illinois (near Chicago.)

Marnie aka Doe :-) Which is not to say some of the wine might not still be
around, it probably is. Googled this, they were one of the first Napa
wineries.

Nothing special, I just like the image.
Cropped a little and taken this past year (2012).
Shot in Napa Valley, CA, at the former Christian Brothers Winery
(lovely, old stone building) that is now a cooking school, The
Culinary Institute of America.

are they the same Christian Brothers who used to beat me at my prep
school
for minor mistakes in arithmetic, and who issued a global apology a few
years ago for their routine abuse of children over decades?

Yes, the Christian Brothers of Ireland had some abuse scandals in the
order, particularly in Ireland but perhaps in England also. But they've done a
lot of good as well. They work extensively with the poor all over the
world and they're still making wine here in the states and teaching kids.. Lots
of good Christian Brothers scholls here, including Iona College in New
York, Brother Rice High School in Chicago and a Brother Rice High School here
in Michigan. Both of the high schools are top notch.
