Stop #3

Our third stop for the day was to a by appointment only tasting and tour at

Del Dotto Vineyards where we were able to tour the caves where they age the wine and taste right from the barrel!

It was really different from the other vineyards, unfortunately due to the darkness we don't have many photos...I would highly suggest that if you take a trip to Napa you make this a must stop on the list just because of the unique experience.
Though we did make sure to come home with a bottle of Del Dotto for the wine rack!

Napa Recap #1

Well here is the first of the Napa re-caps! Sorry for taking over a week to get it posted--work has been a killer this past week.

Our first vineyard visit was Clos du Bios! It was a little over an hour from the hotel but well worth the drive!

We did an amazing tasting and blending seminar which included lots of red wines yum!

We spent around 2 hours here just enjoying it and taking pictures after the tasting/tour. I really liked the red wines here especially the zin, we had really only drank the Chardonnay from Clos du Bois because it's the only white while Rene will really drink!

Needless to say we walked out "members" of the winery and will be getting 3 bottles shipped from their reserve collection each quarter--and free tastings when we go back *clearly a reason to plan trip #2 right?*

Don't worry many more to come!
