Trip out to Napa/Sonoma

[californiagirl]

KC- can't believe you forgot Lewelling in that mix. The absolute best and foremost of all the stops.

A great time was had by EVERYONE. The weather was non-co operative, which at times made things un-comfortable... but all in all, it was great. Good wineries, great restaurants. Several I would highly recommend again. Even some that were spur of the moment type stuff!! KC got to spend his birthday out here. We celebrated a day early, with a lot of wine and good food. A very small present (Loring Llama) to take home, and we enjoyed, among others, a decanted Pax Alder Springs Syrah. KC's tasting expertise is probably better than mine... so I'll let him elaborate. (Don't forget the 2001 Lewelling we enjoyed 2 nights in a row in Napa, and the Novy Viognier!!)
