Marianne's Birthday Weekend in Napa Previews

We had a GREAT time in Napa for Marianne's birthday.  It was definitely up there as one of the most funnest weekends ever.  What made it special is that we got to really spend time with friends that we don't get to see on a regular basis.  And yes, it never hurts to add some wine to mix things up a bit.

On our first day, the first winery we stopped at was the Michael Mondavi Family Winery.

We bought food beforehand to have lunch with the wines that we bought.  Good, good times!!  We might have over did it with the wine, but hey, we had to start off the weekend right. ;)

Thank you Alfy & Oz for staying the entire weekend with us, all the way up to the very end!  

The birthday girl....

Sunday outside Brix.  This place has got one of the best brunch buffets ever.  For these next set of photos, we wanted to do something fun....

Yes, those are purses you are seeing.  Yes, we are posing with purses.

On to winetasting at Castello di Amorosa. This place was breath-taking..
