First entry into the blog world.......and we are kicking it off with our first trip to Napa/Sonoma.......staying in Calistoga, lots of great wineries and memories; even a first time experience in a mud bath.
Our first stop was off the beaten path at Hess, followed by Trefethen, V. Sattui (picture above), Louis Martini and Merryvale. We capped off our night with some Mexican food, then hit the sauna and jacuzzi.
We started our 2nd day off with an amazing drive to Sonoma. We hit Geyser Peak, Ferrari Carano (amazing views and wine), Bella (cave), Mazzocco, Wilson (large deck with great views) and Hanna.
We had an amazing lunch at Willie's Seafood in Healdsburg. They serve small plates or tapas. We highly reccomend this place. A little pricey, but worth it!
Amanda woke up with a stomach bug on day 3 of our wine tour. But, as she always does, she proved to be a trooper and went strong through 4 more tastings. We started the morning at Hall, then Frog's Leap (organic, run on solar...great patio and view for tastings) and then ended our trip with some sparkling wines at Mumm and Domaine Chandon. Great trip, great weather......look for the photos in our next Kodak album.
