Now Boarding Flight to San Francisco

The rain did not stop us from having a blast in San Francisco last weekend. On Friday, we did some shopping (Victoria Secret is a must!) in Union Square.

We had wine at the Nectar Wine Lounge and dinner at Delfina in San Francisco.

Early Saturday, we were on our way to Sonoma Valley.



The highlight of the day was Artesa Winery. The views from the winery are breathtaking.




We had a great lunch at Sonoma- Meritage Martini Oyster Bar and Grill and did some more tasting. The best wine we tasted was a 2001 Reserve Special cabernet sauvignon from Arrowood.

We then drove to St-Helena, Napa Valley for dinner. We had an amazing meal at the Culinary Institute of America.


Sunday morning, we started tasting before breakfast. Not good. I was drunk by 11am! We had lunch at Bouchon where I had the most amazing salmon tartar and mushroom crepe ever.


Most wineries were closed on Sunday (Easter Sunday) so we didn’t do much tasting. And this is why Napa Valley 2006 wine may not be the best!



We met R’s friend in San Jose where we had dinner at the Left Bank on Santana Row. Because I am huge Geek, I had to stop by Ebay!

We flew back on Monday morning. Short, but fantastic weekend!
