Gee - did anyone know they had lots of vineyards in California??? geee... lots and lots.
So - this recently transplanted East Coaster discovered Napa Valley today - now, mind you, the photos above are stolen from the web - it's not quite that green yet...
But wowee is it a great place - palatial wineries - all the famous names I have seen for so long... and fabulous restaurants... we had a terrific lunch at one of the wineries - some of that california 'haute cuisine', which translates into "tiny portions".
.. but we found an ice cream shop later!!!
.. but we found an ice cream shop later!!!I can't wait to go back - a great place for a day trip, although I hear the traffic gets beastly in the summer when the touristas arrive...
OH - THERE'S A QUILT SHOP, TOO!!! It's in Sonoma, and it's a fabulous place - full of great fabrics and quilty activities!
And I found some lovelies to bring home... I want to make a new Mariner's Compass quilt...
All in all - a lovely day!
Hope everyone is well...
Happy Quilting,
Kate

Wine and a quilt shop. Doesn't get much better than that.
Sounds like a fun day. Wine country sightseeing is on my list. I'll be glad to go sometime other than the summer! Cheers!
