Wine Country

We had family in town from Ohio so we ventured west on I-80 to the Napa Valley for wine tasting, picnicking and sightseeing. We loaded up on sandwiches and chips at Safeway in Napa and drove north on Highway 29 where our first stop was the iconic Robert Mondavi Winery. It had been years, but I remember how my wife and I dropped in here when we were newly married in the 1980s. The grounds were immaculate and so was the sense of the good life in California, in the pairing of good wine and good food. This is a feel good place, carrying on Mondavi taste, which is now part of a giant global corporation.
