Day Two

Our First stop - Silver Oak. Silver Oak is high end cabs and they only have 2 - Napa and Alexander Valley Cabs. Interestingly Silver Oak is not named for the tree but named for Silverado Trail and Oakville (both in Napa). The Silver Oak winery was originally between these 2 areas.

Next Stop - Dry Creek Vineyard. None of us had been here before and we didn't know what to expect. However the winery really got into our Tshirts and wanted to compete in the "Battle of the Wine Clubs". They gave us a tour of the winery and 10 tastings. The zins were good but the cabs were amazing. We loved the Endeavor at $60 but the regular cab at $25 was a super good deal so we picked it up. The hospitality we received here was amazing and although we aren't club members they definitely are in the running for the Battle of the Wine Clubs.

Next was Kokomo. Traci and Phil are wine club members here. We had a special table in the back in their barrel room and were able to taste anything we wanted. Check out the pics on their Facebook page.

Next was Peterson. We thought this was Peters, big mistake. Let's just say this winery is best remembered by the 2 cats that were in the tasting room - PASS !

Next was Papapietro Perry. They have amazing Pinots and a very good Chardonnay. Let's just say this was soooo good, we joined the wine club. What were we thinking? It was late in the day, what can I say?

Next was Sbragia. This wasn't as good as I remembered. We didn't buy anything there.

Next and last was Longboard. We remembered having a great time here last year. This year, however we had a great time, but I had a headache caused by too many tannins. Dinner at home was wonderful - filets, asparagus and squash - very nice.
