Oh how I wish I lived close to the Napa Valley just so I could visit with my mother and do some wine tasting. Those pics are just gorgeous!
how nice that must have been,I really could use a nice retreat right now
It looks like such a pretty and yet fun place. We have some vineyards here in Iowa now and they need some lessons from Napa Valley to get the ambience just right !
I’ve never been to a vineyard or a wine-tasting but if i did, i’d want it to be in CA
