Post Valentine's Day Road Trip to Napa


Napa valley is beautiful. In fact, I've said that countless times. I never seem to get tired of it. We took it upon ourselves (my husband and I) to tour every new expat in the area. We were caught in traffic in the middle of hi-way 29 on our way to Mondavi when we saw this picturesque view on the side of the road. We took a detour and snapped a few.


The overcast skies made a perfect backdrop for the bright green trees in bloom just in time for spring next month. The grapevines look dead and they won't bloom until around May or June. Here we are in our goofy selves taking a jump shot.



My husband and I haven't been to a lot of wineries just yet, but from among those we've visited, our favorite as of this writing could be the Robert Mondavi.I just think that the tour is very informative and the underground wine cellar is clean and beautiful. Well manicured lawns and overall the "to kalon" vineyard is very picturesque against the mountain range . 







My husband feeling cheesy after a few sips of wine. Here we are waiting for our tour guide at the lobby. I love the smell of wood burning in the fireplace.



The oak barrels inside the wine cellar makes a perfect spot for a selfie pic. I had a lot of pictures taken the last time I was here.

I will let you in a little secret: I love the Moscato sweet white wine. So good paired with chocolates or a cheese platter in my opinion.
