Napa

We took another trip to Napa Valley, California. I don’t care what Disney says… Napa is “the happiest place on Earth”.

Man we love wine… probably a bit too much, but that’s another story. We went back again with our good friend Big Mike from Lindenhurst. This time we did it right; we stayed in Saint Helena. That’s were all the wine is!

The Vineyard Country Inn was a great place, with a fireplace in every room and overlooking a vineyard. Can’t beat that! Cool mornings on the balcony with coffee and good people is what we all need more of.

This time we hired a driver. We used My Napa Valley Driver and could not have been more pleased. The great thing about these companies is that the driver drives your car, so it’s cheaper than hiring a limo. Our guy, Will, was super knowledgable and, best off all, had contacts. We told him we loved Zinfendel, and sure enough, there was a place really close to where we were staying. Chase Cellars is absolutely freaking amazing, and I cannot recommend the wine or the vineyard enough. We went to a few other places. Our driver even went to the market to pick us up meat and cheese so we could have lunch at one of the stops! That was awesome.

Just like last time, we also got to see our friends The Mackey’s. We miss you guys! We can’t believe how adult the boys are…
