Napa Wrap Up


Back to reality after the weekend in Napa but I must say it was amazing and couldn’t have come at a better time. Ate delicious home cooked breakfasts, and a dinner paired with amazing wine. Went wine tasting, relaxed and kicked ass at Pictionary, drank more wine, and slept. It was perfect.
Silver Oak was by far my favorite winery, not only because it ended up being the most bang for my buck, but also because the wine was incredible. By far the best wine I have had, and it only was released two weeks ago! Also went to Stag’s Leap, Chimney Rock, Darioush Winery and back to Silver Oak for a second go. All the locations were very different in both appearance and taste, which gave the overall experience of wine tasting multiple mini experiences.
The house we stayed in was amazing; beautiful, comfortable and quiet. It was enjoyable waking up to soft rays of sunlight peeking in through slatted blinds, but not having to wake up and get out of bed. I could have stayed in bed the entire time. Anyways, the entire trip was perfect. Saw wineries, downtown Napa, surrounding areas and multiple wine districts.
Now it is back to reality and back to school and all its glory. I am trying to focus more on writing lately (poems and such) so stay tuned for more updates!
