TWENTY-SIX.
I love birthdays. I really love birthdays. Hubs isn't a big birthday person, but that just means more for me!
I was a very lucky girl this year. I had multiple birthday celebrations. Like I said very lucky. I have a great husband and wonderful friends.
We started with a trip to Napa the weekend before my actual birthday. Labor day is so crowded and expensive on Labor Day weekend! And I like my cash monies in my pocket. Plus my dear friend Becky was headed out of town to meet her new niece for Labor Day.
We started with a Wine Tasting Basics class at Mondavi. It was a great way to start the day and they gave me a free bottle of wine for my birthday! We learned to taste wine in 3 sips with 30 seconds between sips to build the full flavor. We also learned how to read labels. And we tasted. It was a great way to start the morning!
After Mondavi we headed over to Silver Oaks and tasted some wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon.
We did a tasting at Rambauer and picnicked there afterward. We had all sorts of wonderful cheeses and breads. And of course a bottle of Chardonnay.
And then we ended the day at Domain Carneros and tasted some wonderful sparkling wine and had cupcakes!
