Quick little trip - Napa!

It's been a busy year with work and the kids but I was able to get reservations at the French Laundry this Saturday night, so the wife and I are off for a little "us" time.

Sorry, G, made my coffee at home this morning.

Enjoy, I can recommend also going to Bistro Jeanty for a little less formal authentic French!

Do you have time for a Winery? A good one? I can put you on my list and its free, I think standard is 80/100 pp? If they have availability for tomorrow lol short notice.

Ok your all set check your inbox. Full disclosure the place is magical and I am biased but I think they have some of the best wines in the area! A tad expensive but really good!

Nice, French Laundry is always a great spot to close out a trip to wine country!

It was amazing! The food and wine were perfect. Drank way more than we should have but it was a short walk to the hotel.
