We picked up the car and drove north on Monday morning. We’re driving a Kia Spectra, which is about the type of car you’d expect it to be: small but reliable. And it has a great air conditioner. We drove to the Marin Headlands and tried to take pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge, but it was covered in fog. We had breakfast in Sausalito, checked out a Frank Lloyd Wright building in Marin County and then drove north to Sonoma County.
We stopped at four Sonoma wineries (might make a separate post on that later). We’re currently staying in Yountville and had dinner last night at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bistro. It was very, very good. The steak frites is served with enough frites for four people.
Today we checked out Napa wineries. The highlight was the tour at Schramsberg Winery which makes sparkling wines. The tour was excellent and we ended with five sparkling wines, including a champagne recently served at the White House.
We’re still figuring out exactly what we’re doing for dinner tonight, but we plan on staying local.
