Topic “Napa Valley”

This past week my girlfriends and I spent the day in Napa. Shockingly not wine tasting, but plenty of wine drinking! A couple times a year we manage to leave the kids at home, check ourselves into the spa and lounge poolside for some serious girl-time. It continues to amaze me that we can spend 15 hours together and still find things, not only to talk about, but laugh about.

"Everyone grab a bottle," were the words I heard getting out of the car.  If you knew who was driving this automobile, you would understand the excitement I felt in this moment.

First...a magnum of  the 2007 Amuse Bouche.

Second....a magnum of the Sinatra Family Estates.

Third...a magnum of the 2007 Pharoah Moans.

Really? AND we're dining at Bottega?

[Now, I'm moaning!]

Sometimes I think, "Can it get better than this?"

If you've never tasted these wines, well...

lucky you!

Have you ever woken up in such a state of ecstacy you're unsure if you are awake?

Am I dreaming?

Do I really get to begin my day this way?

This is what it's like to wake up in Napa!

The sun glistening off the vines, hot air balloons floating up into the morning sky and some hot guy adoring you!...[still dreaming]

Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

But, this was how the "day of fun" began.

So...Keenan Chardonnay for breakfast, courtesy of my favorite wine guy, Billy G.

It's Napa!

First tasting, 10 AM.
