We woke up Friday to another beautiful day of paradise in Napa. We are off to another day of wine tastings. Our first stop was Frank Family Vineyards. The grounds were beautiful but the presentation of the tastings were a little to recorded for me.
Stop number two, The Napa Valley Reserve. This is were KW and Julie have vines. The grounds, presentation, tour, lunch and wine were heavenly! Thank you Julie and KW for setting up the tour, lunch and wine for us. We felt very special.

This was our view while having a lovely lunch.
Doesn't every ones table look like this for lunch?
The setting is very casual, elegant casual. Rod you were in our thoughts here. We know how much you love hanging outside and this place is so you.
There is a beautiful vegetable and flower garden that you walk through when you enter the vineyard.
OK...back to reality and our next tasting of the day, PumpJack. The grounds were OK, the wines good and the presentation terrible!
Lunch and wine is starting to kick in now, so our last stop of the day is Clos Du Val. We had a very "interesting" lady telling us all about the wines. Again, not our favorite stop of the day as it seemed very commercial.
After a full day of tastings, we just needed a little down time so we decided to sit out by the fire pit at the hotel with a bottle of viognier and a cheese plate.
After a well needed nap, we are off to dinner. We chose a place near the hotel so our driver could enjoy the evening. I highly recommend Allegria.
Good night Napa, we have some wonderful memories to leave with.
