Our excellent adventure to the Napa Valley started out on a rainy day.
By the time we got to the Valley, the rain stopped but it was gray and cold.
We went straight to our fancy lunch in Yountville.
For those who know the French Laundry - no, we did not eat there. But we did have a very elegant lunch at a place called Redd down the road. Maggie has become a "foodie" and was very choosy about our dining destinations.
We proceeded down the road to the Opus One winery. We had a reservation for their tour and tasting. Maggie wants to learn more about wine - so why not start at the top end of the line?
Toward the end of the tour, we came out to find - the sun!
We also visited Cakebread Cellers and Mondavi and bought a few bottles to take home.
We drove further up the road to Calistoga, and checked in to the famous Dr. Wilkinson's Hotel to sober up rest up before our dinner reservation.
We dined and drank wine at Market in St. Helena. We sat at our table for about 3 hours and had a wonderful evening.
Tomorrow - we try the mud!
