What a Day!!!

So today, we went into the town of Healdsburg and shopped at this really cool store.  "T" bought "C" some champagne flutes for her birthday, then we headed to a wine tasting place right next store.  

They paired wine with food and it was the most amazing experience!  I even bought some truffle sea salt that will be the absolute bomb on roasted chicken as a finishing salt!  We tasted this one snack that had a bland cheddar cheese with a creamy blue on top, topped with a pecan and honey and paired with this cab.  OMG, it was the total bomb. 

We then headed to this winery called  Passalacqua and enjoyed a lunch of crackers and cheese, wine and chicken with an incredible view....



Then we proceeded upstairs where we enjoyed a tasting of Cabs.  So fun!  After we left there, we proceeded to yet another winery and drank ourselves silly.  So happy that I wasn't driving.

When we got back to the Raford Inn, there was yet more wine and cheese.  We yapped with the other guests and had some fun laughing. 

We went to dinner at this restaurant called Canneti's and it has to be one of the most spectacular dinners I've ever had. We started with wine that we brought and appetizers of crispy anchovy on toast points with caper sauce.  And I could go on and on about the menu, but I know I'd only bore you to tears.  Suffice it to say, it was delicious and memorable. The company was interesting, and funny, the chef paid us special attention, and I can't remember a time when a dinner lasted more than three hours and the time just felt like it raced by. 

After a nice shower I'm finally in bed.  My bedmate says that I smell really good....hmmmm could be an interesting evening, but Dizzy don't swing that way...ha ha!!!

G'nite peeps!

Wine country sounds interesting. I am probably the only non wine enthusiasts. I either haven't ha a good wine or just am clueless about wine. And everything else. I've always wanted to go biking to winery tours. I love cheese. Maybe someday I will go.
Glad you had an awesome weekend
