Meyer Bell Parents Take Napa


We drank. We ate. We drank. We ate. We drank. We ate. We drank. We ate. We drank. We ate.
We came home to our families.  

Well, it didn't follow that plan completely.  We did have to dig out the umbrellas.  We had an Uber with a flat tire.  We had a lady at a winery tell us "Hot to Trot" was her favorite wine. We had the best gnocchi ever created.  We had a close call with a guard rail.  We had more rain that we do at home.  We had the best parent's trip ever!  So blessed to have the best tour guides as our partners in crime.  Can't wait for the next Meyer Bell weekend sans kids!

So back to the beginning....

Yes...we were already dropping our car off at 4:59 am to get the heck out of the Seattle rain and off to Napa!

Here we go....can you spot Jen and Cam?

We've arrived and our 1st stop was brunch!

 


 Winery #1: Pride






Winery #2: Davis Estates


 Group Selfie!




 The exclusive wine cave....

 

The food and wine pairing was amazing...I have to say prior to THIS moment I was not a Pinot Noir girl.....well, I'd just never had Davis Pinot Noir.  A-freaking-mazing!


Dinner Night 1: Cook
No pictures from that night...but one of the best food experiences we have ever had.

Plus a Night Cap that included a 10-year Rye.

Winery #3: Mumm (yeah for BUBBLES)!


Every day should start with flights of bubbles!



One of the many "CHEERS" 



Winery #4: Stag's Leap

Friday also included and amazing lunch at B&R, plus Winery Stop #5.

Dinner: Morimoto


Nothing like a picture with my love in front of a bunch of fish.

Nightcap #1.

Nightcap #2.

That's a wrap...and boxes to ship the fabulous wine home.

Winery Stop #6: Peju 



This trip took months to coordinate...help from grandparents...planning by Jen...but is one for the books.  It was such a great trip filled with fun and friends.  Can't wait to do it again.
