A special trip to Napa

On Saturday, Erik & I went up to Napa. We were going to go to a winery event but we got up there a little late so we didn't go. We ended up going to a winery that we've been to before, Rutherford Grove. I love this winery - it is a small winery, small distribution, grapes grown on the property(rare for most wines), and family owned.



When we went into the winery, and it was empty. We had the same server that we had almost a year ago to the day when Erik & Tara visited!

Here is a shot from our 2009 visit to this winery.

Gorgeous grounds! In wine country, the vine leaves turn colors!

After doing the tasting, we went out to the grounds next to the winery. They have a huge yard & it's just beautiful out there.

We had the whole yard to ourselves so why not whip out a few cartwheels?



After flipping around, we were going to go get something to eat. And then....ERIK PROPOSED!!! Yes, we are engaged. I couldn't believe it. Well, I could but I was still shocked. haha. We are so excited & happy!


Ironically, here is a photo of us in 2009 at this same winery. This place definitely has a special place in our hearts now!

So, we are super excited & still in a little bit of shock! :-)
