Napa Valley Weekend

Jesse and I headed out to Napa for some wine tasting and relaxation. We stayed at the beautiful Hennessey House Bed and Breakfast

in the Bridal Suite.

We went down the street to a festival




and sampled wine from many local vineyards. We met some cool folks that had a Mini cooper club and decided we had to join sometime soon. These cars were great, such cool people that have a passion for them.

Anyway I digress - Cory, our server, was awesome we wanted to see a winery from the inside-out, and he happily obliged. He worked at Vine Cliff Winery and gave us the address and told us to stop by on Saturday. We drove up to a beautiful estate and gave his name at the gate.

































The grounds were incredible. We got a private tour of the vineyards and he taught us everything we ever wanted to know about wine. He was great -- many thanks, Cory - please keep in touch.

We checked out a day early and headed to San Francisco to have a grand Gay time; met with Steve and Will and went out on the town. Unfortunately, the Dory Alley party was Sunday afternoon and we had to jump on a flight out of Oakland. So we headed off to the airport and
