Good times. I was drunk virtually the entire time. I was drying out when I posted the other day. The week or so off was long overdue. Batteries are somewhat recharged, and I think I'm ready to get back to work.
If you've never been to Napa, go. Bring your woman. Get a limo for the day. You'll thank me later.
what wineries did u go to? i've been wanting to go out there for several years but havent made it yet. spend any time in sonoma valley?
Spent most of our time in Napa, although I'm certain I'm more of a Sonoma type. Interesting note - the Pride winery is located in both counties, which is quite beneficial. In Napa, it's supposedly a huge hassle, perhaps even a fine, to drink a different brand of wine near another winery. In Sonoma, it's not an issue. They're more laidback in Sonoma, while the Napa folks seem a little uptight.
Best winery was Frank. Pride was very good, too. Summers was surprisingly good. But there was a lot of crap, too.
I'd go back tomorrow. It was that much fun. If you go, stay in the mountains - find a B&B. Don't stay in Napa. We were actually in St. Helena, which is about 10-15 minutes from Napa.
