We heart San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge is SO MUCH FUN to drive over!!!! Last night we walked around the downtown shopping area a little and found dinner at a cute Italian place. Linds and I both said we were looking for a little taste of home.
This morning we got up early and headed out to Sonoma Valley. It was one of the best days that we’ve had so far. We started our wine experience with a tasting at the oldest vineyard in Sonoma. There we sat down and were walked through five of their best wines AND we learned about how to pair different wines with different foods. They gave us a small plate of food and we got to try out different combinations. It was awesome.
From there we moved on to Napa Valley, which we found rather disappointing. Napa is geared for tourists whereas Sonoma is for those who want some peace, quite, and damn good wine.
After driving back from Napa we stopped off in Sonoma at one more vineyard that was a winery and Italian market place all in one. We had a yummy lunch including pesto pasta and then rounded off the afternoon with a five wine tasting. After having an absolute blast, we bought a few more bottles of wine and headed back to the hotel.
Between the two of us, Linds and I purchased 15 bottles of wine. This is why we’re best friends.
