Our Favorite Napa Vineyards (or How Napa Made Us Super Bougie)

In early September, Jake and I went on our first grown-up couples vacation.  We went to Napa and I was instantly in love.  Day drinking in one of the most beautiful locations on earth - yes please!

We particularly enjoyed...

Ridge - where the tour includes a ride up into the vineyards and the tasting includes a cheese plate and a $165 bottle of Cab that was our favorite of the whole trip

Chappellet - an extremely winding drive up to the top of a mountain with excellent white wines and a stunning view

Hall - excellent wines, an informative tour, and grounds dotted with modern art

Since we've returned our new favorite Friday night activity is cooking dinner and splurging on a (mid-priced) bottle of wine.  We actually own a wine fridge (which we rescued from Jake's parents' basement) and we bought half a case of California Cab to fill it with. The number one thing we learned was probably "let it breathe," which if I had to say, would likely be the mantra of life in Napa Valley.
