wine and dine

After a night of laughter while watching Hell's Kitchen as the Blue Team "enjoyed" themselves at a winery, my boyfriend and I decided to take a trip up north to Napa Valley and San Francisco for his birthday next month with a couple of friends. I'm definitely excited because 1) I LOVE San Francisco (well third after New York and Hawaii) and 2) I've tried wine tasting once, but it was in Mexico last year and I'm excited to go especially in a place well known for their vast variety of wineries. Without a doubt, I'm excited to go up north next month after a million failed attempts this year. Something was always coming up and forcing me to postpone the trip. I'm definitely making it imperative that we do this trip! No excuses.

Any recommendations for wineries in Napa? I'm definitely considering all recommendations so please do share!

I have yet to make it up there myself and would love recommendations for a future trip there!

I'd suggest finding a smaller, family-run winery. I find they have the best stories and care about the customers more. You might get to chat with an owner, and they tend to love answering questions. It's interesting to compare that to the large, well-known wineries - completely different experiences!; July 14, 2010 at 10:29 PM
