this is a view from robert young winery
okay, i don't think that i should keep blogging for 5 days about our trip. i know i could, however I'll try to cut it short. our favorite winery was Far Niente. they had beautiful grounds and we had a tour complete with a tasting at the end. you should know that FN makes DOLCE. if you have never had this delicious drink you should go right now and buy it. it will cost you a pretty penny but when you can keep it open (fridged) for 4-6 weeks the price is well worth it. it is very sweet and delicious with just about anything. we tried it with blue cheese, it was great...i've also tried it on the back porch with semi-sweet chocolate chips and its just as fantastic! my other favorites were paraduxx, duckhorn, robert young and chateau st. jean. i think this has to do with actually sitting down, relaxing and chatting at these places. beautiful scenery and beautiful wine. we actually enjoyed a few white wines while in napa all at the places i mentioned above. i don't know if its b/c it was refreshing after a lot of reds or if we really enjoyed it but they were really good (a buttery finish you might say). we stopped and took pictures as much as we could. i also learned you should never ever take an olive from a tree and eat it however, you can take grapes from a vine and eat them! i would def. recommend anyone going to the "wine country". in fact, we will soon begin persuading our community group to save money for our next adventure. here are a few pic's below to complete the postings about our trip, unless i just can't do it and add another post :)
