Napa....Need I say more?

Wine is what it's all about! We shared a fantastic weekend with the Almasseys touring many of the "boys" favorite wineries, tasting some of the best Reserve wines in some of the most incredible settings. We were drawn to the William Hill Winery because we have selected the Cabernet Sauvignon as the red wine for the wedding (coming up in 2 weeks!) The setting could not have been more relaxing as we sat on a hillside under the shade of umbrellas in comfy Adirondack chairs sipping a perfectly chilled glass of wine.
One of the highlights of our weekend was the Castelle di Amorosa..an exact reproduction of a Tuscan Castle, including chapel and dungeon, built into a hillside in Napa. We took a horse and carriage ride through the grounds and ended up in a huge vaulted, heavy beamed, grand room for our tasting.
This picture is not great of us but it cracks me up....I think Mary and I were on overload with the wisdom of wine tasting! Time to head back to San Francisco!
