Napa Valley & Bay Area (Dec 2009)

Sasha and I spent the day in Calistoga (Napa Valley) for wine tasting at three wineries: Bennett Lane, Clos Pegase, and Castello di Amorosa (a castle!!). The next day, Sasha had the great idea of stopping at the Palace of Fine Arts, where there was some really great greek-inspired architecture. I also wanted to get some pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge, so we stopped on the Marin County side on the way to my Aunt's house.

  • One of the reasons we picked Bennett Lane is because it had received a ton of 90+ points wines by Wine Spectator.
  • A view of Clos Pegase, the second vineyard we visited, from the front. This vineyard is known for not only its wine, but also it's art collection and caves.
