*shares brie from MTW with bloggers*
Ok, so let's back up to Thursday night again. I don't remember falling asleep. Although, I had no hangover yesterday morning. Yay!
Friday we were, like Breezy said, screwed up with the time difference and were ready to get up by 5:30 a.m. So we got our rental car (a big ol red Impala...that at least had a moonroof) & headed out of town. We had a 9:30ish date with MTW. I was supposed to call him when we left town, but forgot. Ooops. Had an uber greasy breakfast in Vallejo & then headed to Peet's in Fairfield. Peet's was so good! Chris had coffee & I had tea. We need more tea friendly places like this. Sometimes, I have my fill of coffee.
MTW is a fantastically nice guy. He was so relaxed and we had tons to talk about.We did get some pics, but I'm not equiped to post pics right now. You'll just have to watch his blog.
Then it was off to wine country. Bouchaine was our first stop & it was marvellous. Friendly ladies, a beautiful deck where we were given table service for samples...and generous samples they were. Met another young couple from the midwest.
Then it was off to lunch at Boon Fly. Yummy. Chris ate a kobe beef burger & I had a yummy flatbread. Then we hit Artesa winery. Gorgeous location and grounds, average wines...didn't buy any there.
Then we headed further towards Sonoma to Schug winery. Friendly people, decent wine. Not much sampling, though. After that it was Cline...my favorite. Pretty grounds, friendly staff (mostly old men) and great wines. Bought a lot there.
Headed back to Napa. All the wineries were really crowded and we ended up skipping two. Hit dinner at Julia's Kitchen and headed back to San Francisco.
Do not attempt to drive in downtown San Francisco at night for your first time in the city. Yikes! Soooo many one way streets and such.
Today we were up early again. Now I need to get off the blogs and plan our day. *smooch*

This blog is a collection of things on my mind. Could be serious, could be rambling idiocy. I invite you all to read, debate, ridicule, *whack*, and even give me a little love.

I love wine tours. But you hit so many. I am exhausted just reading about it.
Driving through San Francisco drunk at 2 a.m. is one of my favoritist memories.
Keep on having a great time, Kim! I look forward to seeing pics when you get back!
How nice for you that you got to meet MTW. That's so cool.
I'm so happy for all you peeps who got to meet each other in CA recently.
Michelle refuses to drive in downtown SF no matter what. She hates it and mostly because of the one ways.
Mmmmmm kobe beef is absolutely marvelous. That's what I want. NOW!!!
Hopefully your day today didn't kill ya'll and you will be ready for a drink or two. Of tainted milk of course. :)
See you in about 2 1/2 hours. *big grin*
Kobe beef - does that have something to do with the Lakers?
I love that you are giving us updates in real time!
I need an update!!!!!!!!
*waits for more updates*
Sounds like you're having a blast!
Sounds good so far, Kim, but we need to know what's going on *now*.
*smooch*
Sounds like you're taking advantage of the good weather and making good use of your time. Down here in L.A., I met people at Peet's coffee and went winetasting at a winery, too. I had a gingerbread latte.
I will say that she tricked me into thinking it was pantless Wednesday. Hrmph.
Hope to get an update soon!
Everything seems to going very well.
