Napa - Wine, Food and Rolex

We just got back from our first trip to Napa Valley. I really enjoyed the change in scenery over South Florida. We stayed in Yountville in a small lodge and visited about 13 different winery's over three days. The food there was amazing and of course my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the wine! I would definitely recommend going. We took a bunch of pics that I thought I would share.

I knew it was going to be a good trip when I saw this at the airport:

The pic with the Daytona is at Bouchon. I love that steak. I get that and the French Onion soup every time. Did you try the macaroons at the bakery next door?

You’re correct. I didn’t try the macaroons. I heard good things about the bakery just never made it there.

Really nice pictures! My kind of trip! Great food, great wine, beautiful surroundings and cigars!

My wife and I will be there in about two weeks! We have a reservation at French Laundry! It is our first time ever in Napa!
