This week, the wine world lost a great man. A man who had a passion. But there was a cause that fueled that passion. While I never personally met the man, it affected me for some reason… Why, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because he inspired me to remember that while my life may be […]

Napa Trip – Day 5 – Thus Ends the Journey. :(
*Sigh* End of vacation already? It can’t be!!!! We woke fairly early on Thursday to rain. The first time since we’d be in California that we got what was promised.

Monday came…and as I mentioned in the Day One post, I’m a huge racing fan. So of course, I had to visit Mario Andretti’s […]

Napa Trip – Day One – The Adventure of Getting There
So driving to Napa proved to be more challenging than I thought. Who would have thought that we’d hit a massive, January or February-style snow storm in mid-March?!?! Sorry for the blurriness, but we were driving down the freeway. And this was really early in the morning…I think it was about 6 in the morning […]
