A few Napa highlights

Dinner at Brix - beautiful patios and

gardens - delicious food.

Seared Ahi Tuna dish - excellent!

Frogs Leap winery - our favorite spot.

Wine tasting flight.

Lunch at Rutherford Grill.

Grilled artichoke and smoked salmon - yum!

Elizabeth Spencer winery.

Would love to have that big bottle!

* French Laundry greenhouse - look at all

the heirloom tomato vines.

French Laundry gardens - so big & beautiful.
This is as close as we got to going there...

A little bubbly before dinner at Bistro Jeanty.

Wine on the patio at Bouchon.

Dinner at Bouchon was incredible.

We started with an awesome cheese plate,

then we shared a dish of black cod with

maine lobster, sunchokes, pearl onions,

garden celery w/ black pepper creme fraiche.

and more wine of course....

*

Porfiteroles for dessert - ooo la la.

The entire evening was one for the books.

We enjoyed every moment and will remember

it forever! In the morning after we slept

in and shook off the morning wine slosh,

we headed to the Bouchon bakery for fresh

croissants and coffee - can't think of a

better way to start the day!

Wine & cheese

Enjoyed the evening with sister-in-law Cathy.

Sharp English cheddar, brie, prosciutto wrapped

bread sticks, roasted & salted almonds,

and some vino of course.

Delicious!

Girls night out

Sister-in-law Cathy and I went to Postino

for wine and bruschetta.

We had the tomato w/ fresh mozzarella & basil,

smoked salmon w/ cream cheese & capers,

prosciutto w/ figs & mascarpone,

and brie w/ apples & fig jam - YUM!

I forgot just how much I love that place.

Great ambiance, delicious food &

wine, and (of course) great company!

They have a Mon. & Tues. night special:

Bottle of house wine, and a bruschetta board

for $20.00 - D and I will be heading back

there soon!
