Saturday


On Saturday, we went up to Sonoma. I've never been up there and it is very different from Napa. Napa is like Vegas for wine. One long strip with wineries on each side of the street. Pull off left or right and you're in a winery. Sonoma is like driving thru neighborhoods, down little streets, and pulling up at a winery at the end of a cul de sac.

We went to Blackstone, Ravenswood, and Anaba. You prob know the first two from wines you buy at the grocery store. Anaba is fairly new. I am not a pinot noir person but I loved one of theirs. Blackstone had a great Rubric wine that I liked. Ravenswood was selling their cab for $18.50 when Hello! They sell it at Safeway for $10 or $7 on sale!

We had an awesome dinner at Boon Fly Cafe. I've been wanting to go to this cute place for awhile now. It is on the property of Carneros Inn. We got there at 5pm and got a bottle of wine at the bar: Twenty Rows. So good! Then, we had dinner and both got Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens. Oh yeah!

Afterwards, we picked up Evie at camp and went home. Fun day exlploring a new area!
