First I have to wish my BFF a Happy Birthday. I love you woman!
We spent the day with our Best Friends; Hubs’ Brother and his Wife, for her birthday and we had a wonderful time! Bro rented a limo so we could trip around Napa Valley and do some wine tasting. It was all a surprise for my BFF and It was so nice for the four of us to just kick back, let someone else drive so we could talk and hang out. Oh and drink wine of course. We didn't care about the usual wine country traffic while we were being transported to wherever we wanted to go.
We toured the Robert Mondavi Vineyard and Winery to partake in some (breakfast) tasting. Joe, our limo driver took us to a yummy deli were we picked up a bottle of wine and some sandwiches and then he took us to another winery where we had a picnic. I don't know why I can’t remember the name of that one. We then went on to some wine and chocolate (desert) tasting at Beringer Vineyards. After, we had Joe drive us next door to the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone. We have all passed by this gorgeous building many times but this is the first time any of us had been inside. When we were done there we headed back into St Helena for some snacks, some more wine and a rest so the Birthday Girl could take a little nap before dinner. We dined at little Italian Restaurant and, yes, had more wine. Whoa! Way too much wine. Oh but it was fun and very rare these days that we get to spend any time like this together.
