Week-end Review in Cali

It was another fun and busy week-end in Cali. Steph had studied a lot during the week and wanted to relax on Saturday so we take another trip to Napa. Focused exclusively on the Silverado Trail this time which is the road that runs parallel to the famed highway 29. We ended up hitting 3 new wiries in addition to some old favorites. We started out at Joseph Phelps, a great winery but a little too stuffy and pricey for us to visit more often. We knew we had arrived when we saw the first car as we turned the corner...



We then went to a few new places including Rombauer and Frank Family further up the trail. Rombauer is famous for their "buttery" chardonnay but we enjoyed the pariotic cow on the way in as well.



We had lunch in Calistoga, home of that famed bottled water and then went to look at the nearby "Old Faithful" of California. Upon arrival we were reluctant to spend the $8 each to get in to actually see the thing so here's the picture I took as a souvenir. If you want to actually see the geyser prepare to pony up $8 or click on the provided link.
