Socialite Denise Hale (nee Danica Radosavljevic Minnelli) stands on the back patio of the Sonoma, California, home she shares with her husband, entrepreneur Prentis Cobb Hale. A set of Chinese Chippendale furniture with multicolored floral cushions sits on the brick patio, including a sofa, an end table, an arm chair, and a glass topped coffee table. A silver tea pot sits on the coffee table and Denise Hale holds a teacup. A large tree comes up at the edge of the patio, impeding the view of the tree-covered hills beyond.
