They Must Drink Wine for Breakfast...

I could see myself living here. In fact, I already found Brixon's school, our perfect neighborhood, and my morning coffee hangout. Ahhh. Five days in California wine country wasn't enough!! The towns were unbelievable (St. Helena and Healdsburg were my favorite), the weather was fantastic, and the people were so hospitable (you would be, too if you made wine for a living!) Nick goes every year during harvest, and I couldn't wait to go with him this year! We had plenty of great wine, and a lot of fun with old and new friends! And we wrapped it all up with a day in San Francisco. Counting down the days until we go back.

 Amizetta Vineyard-the site of dinner the first night. So beautiful.
 
 The wine cave at Amizetta
 




The vineyard at Shypoke, where we had dinner the second night. Another great night!!
