NAPA VALLEY, Calif. — Before we dive into this week’s batch of reader-submitted captions and comics, a quick note from me, Tim Carl, editor of Napa Valley Features. Some of you have told us you didn’t realize we feature a new cartoon and caption contest every Sunday — tucked just beneath the main story. (Pssst … they occasionally make a cameo in “Dan Berger’s Wine Chronicles,” too.) Each week readers can vote for their favorite caption or submit one of their own.

Reading Girls, Nikolay Bogdanov-BelskyIf you would have told my 29-year-old self a decade ago that I was going to read 50 books in a year, I probably would have cried.
