A Napa Lunch


Our day in Napa started, as any good day in Napa should, at Oakville Grocery.

{I believe I caused a traffic jam for this picture, but it was worth it.}


Then we went for a lovely afternoon of wine and picnicking at Rubicon Estate. (But shhh, don't tell them we picnicked there, apparently it's not allowed.  Blasphemy if you ask me.)












{Save the Date: Portofino 2012.  Clearly joking, but that'd be fun.}


{where the magic happens}


{I surprisingly loved the reisling}



Our afternoon ended, as any good day in Napa should, with desserts from Bouchon.  Sharz got macarons (the pistachio was my favorite); Les got a chocolate bouchon.




Oh, then we peeked inside Napa Style and I fell in love with these chandeliers made out of tea cups and saucers (so not my style, but I still love them), and Leslie told us stories about her adventures with giant metal canisters of olive oil in Italy.  Apparently, people have those in their homes there.  Or maybe just the family Leslie nannied for.  Either way, go Italy!

Lovely friends, lovely day.
