Napa with the Girls

At the end of June some of my buddies (Jerri, Gina, Laura and Cindy) came up for a wine tasting weekend. Jerri and Gina were also running a half marathon, but I’m going to ignore that fact lest I feel like a total schlub.

I don’t have many pictures, but we visited three wineries on the first day (Friday). This shot is from the second winery — Jerri needed to do a little spooning with this sculpture.

On Saturday, Jerri and Gina got up early for their race. While they were gone, I went for a nice walk. Good scenery.

After the race and cleanup, we headed out for another round of wineries. Jerri demanded a castle … and found one.

The wine here was just OK, but the Guido-like pourer was worth it. I think Jerri took this picture at the castle, but I have no idea what we were doing. Maybe the wine was good after all.

Our last winery was one that did sparkling wines. Here were our in our very comfortable setup.

The glasses all together were lovely …

… and the wine was delicious but I had hit my limit by then. Lucky for Cindy — the beneficiary of my share.

The next day we were winery-ed out and decided to drive to San Jose to see the Winchester Mystery House, which was interesting and weird.

Thanks for coming up, ladies!
