Robert Mondavi Winery, Napa Valley California – Election day
Today we decided to venture outside of the San Francisco bay area and head to Napa Valley for some wine tasting. We had picked out Robert Mondavi Winery as our destination. After a great breakfast at this awesome local restaurant, Sears, we got in the car and headed out. Another trip over the Golden Gate bridge was cool even though it was quite foggy and the visibility was very low. An hour and a half later we were at the door ready for some wine.
The tour was very interesting as they showed us the entire process from growing to bottling. Not every winery does all the steps so it was cool to see it done all in one place. At the end of the tour we got to sample some fancy wines and listen to people who thought they new everything about wine talk about it all around us. To bad there wasn’t enough in those sample glasses to drown out the surrounding noise.
After the tour and many pictures we head for the Griswald part of our trip and went to see a local geyser. It was a neat sight to see and we took many pictures which you will be able to see here. On the was we stopped at this fancy restaurant called the Home Plate Cafe (see pictures) I had a cheeseburger and Emily had a Philly cheesesteak. We really know how to do wine country!
We then decided to make the 2 hour drive back to the hotel. Upon arrival we got caught up on the election and went back to the breakfast restaurant for dinner. We really know how to branch out. We stayed up as long as we could, about 10 pm, and fell asleep only to wake up to no decision in the election. Oh well felt like we were back in Florida for a second!
Pictures take today – 309 – Total pictures taken on trip – 4009
