After the Compaq deal closed, several couples
got together to do Napa for the day. We decided early on to just make a day of it, so we rented a limo for door to door service... |
First stop- Sterling, up at
the top of the valley. I think this eager beaver was our first tour guide of the day...he was just far too awake. |
We had grabbed box lunches from the Lakeville Grocers and were going to eat out on Sterling's deck, but the weather wasn't cooperating at that point. |
OK, so we trundled on down to V Sattui to eat outside there... but our limo got denied- turned out they want advance
reservations... We ended up eating in the Grgich parking lot... and washing it down with a Grgich '96 Zin! |
We wound up doing the tour at Berringer's. Here's our group waiting for the tour. |
We made a quick side trip over to the
Silverado trail and took in Stag's Leap. Here's zoran marveling at how big it can get after a few glasses of wine...! |
By that point, the wine was taking its toll and we were definitely starting to slow down- here's April and Steve enjoying a quiet moment. |
well, most of us... Chris and Gillian were still pretty perky... |
Last stop- Domain Chandon... always a good tour- ours was great 'cuz one female patron had been drinking since noontime and provided lots of comic relief ;=) A good time was had by all and we all got home safe- can't wait to do it again! |
