Napa!

[jemz]

okay. Here are some pics from today's jaunt to do some fantastic wine-tasting in Napa.

Warning, there's quite a few pics.





The very pretty Cosentino wine-tasting room. One of my absolute favorite boutique wines. EVER.



Errr...Robert Mondavi Winery's Visitor Center. It was pretty.



More of Mondavi's vineyards.



Yet another pretty picture of Mondavi's vineyard. The grapes from this vineyard all go into the Reserve wines. very expensive. Needless to say, I didn't try it.



The entrance to Domain Chandon!!! So pretty!!!



A pretty fountain in the little creek by the entrance of Domain Chandon.



Teh coolest rock mushrooms garden EVER!



The actual entrance to the Gift Shop, Wine Tasting Bar, and Restaurant. LOVE IT. >_> I bought myself a bottle of Etoile Rose. I'm going to save it for a special occasion....like while reading Harry Potter & HBP!!! XD



Sorry if that took forever to load.....will fix it all when I get the chance if the pics are too big. *smoochies*
