This is day three (I think-I am so confused and tired), of our stay in Napa, CA at the River Pointe Resort.
We flew into Sacramento on Saturday, and stayed the night. Into Napa on Sunday and before we even got checked in, we had picked up the other couple that came in a couple days earlier and went for a wine tasting. Seghesio was a big way to start. We had pretasting of 5-6 wines, then a private tasting for the four of us with 4 foods and 5 wines, then a follow up of two more wines.
We got back to the resort, checked in, and started enjoying our room. While not big, these units are perfect for our needs, and the other couple in our group.
We did more tastings on Monday, but don't ask me where. I bought a bottle of the best barbara I have had. We did the wine train Monday night. Three hours of good food, fine wines, beatiful scenery and I didn't push Linda off the train. I was well behaved.
Tuesday, we had three wineries scheduled, Ferrari-Carano, someplace else and Kendall Jackson tasting center. I went in for a 4 taste reserve flight, and ended up tasting about 12 wines, with 1 at $70 and 1 wine at $120. Holly cow. We ended up tasting about 20 wines that day, some very big.
Tasting schedule is changing for the rest of the week based on what we learn here, but it will be sure to be an interesting tine with some new experiences at unknown wineries and maybe I will make it through the week without strangling my wife's friend Linda. But I am not going to hold my breath on that one.
