Napa Valley Wine Tasting

Last week had me exhausted between a busy work week and dealing with a close co-workers death.

I was all set to hit publish on this post and out of nowhere the content deleted on me. I have very rarely had this issue with blogger over the last 6 years, but when it happens, it's frustrating to say the least. I had detailed musings and opinions about each winery and all the photographs just right. I'm sure it goes without saying, loosing a loved one almost out of nowhere to cancer (my heart huts for her family) certainly puts a lot in perspective.

So, Napa Valley with no words will suffice - for now at least. I loved our time here. Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the wineries we visited. If you go - we loved Intimate Wine Tours. A personal concierge in wine country was a must for us. The company was great to work with from start to finish.
