Northern California--Part Two

[dananne]

As always, Jane, wonderful notes and an enjoyable read. It brought back some nice memories from our August trip. We, too, bought the Bella Vigna from Martinelli. Glad you had better attention at Rochioli, but it's too bad they didn't have more open for you to try. Your notes are very similar to ours from Selby, and if you had a younger chatty girl, then you may have had the same girl that served us -- she also popped stuff off the tasting list for us to try. In all, we really enjoyed that stop. We stopped at Porter Creek and bought one of the Zins, but I don't remember the Pinot. I know we tried it, but I can't remember what we thought of it. If you're able to get that dessert recipe, let me know. That pairing with a Tawny sounds delicious.

Again, thanks for taking the time with the report, and I'll look forward to the third installment!
