Napa

We had the best time in Napa yesterday. It was like 75-80 out and sunny. We went to 4 vineyards - our home base, Alpha Omega and then 3 new ones.

We stopped off first for a sandwich. If I have learned anything about Napa, its the importance of eating!! We went to this great Italian Deli, Genova's. Then, we stopped at Alpha Omega where we picked up our wine club wine.

Onto ZD Wines which was OK. Pretty winery, didn't like the wine. We tried a 9 year old pinot noir that Amy & I thought tasted like sticks. haha. The girl did say it was 'smoky'.



Next up, Miner Vineyards. They had a great outdoor deck overlooking the vineyards. This is definitely a place you come to sit and stare and just be happy you are here. It was wonderful.



Finally, onto Honig. You have to make an appointment to come here but it was the best stop. The staff is very cool and personable. We sat outside in the garden and 2 of the guys came to pour wine, talk to us, sit down and chill. One of the guys even had a dog that they let me pet and hold and baby talk to. haha. PLUS, they gave me a free bottle of wine signed by everyone there for my birthday. How fun!!




Finally, we finished the day with dinner at Fume where we had great Halibut for dinner!
