My friend Row and I went for a little day trip out to wine country this weekend. First we went to Santa Rosa to a jem show and bought pretty shiny things and then we made our way to Sonoma to do some wine tasting and to enjoy the day. It was beautiful day and we had a great time. The first winery we went to had a free horse drawn tour that took us around the winery and explained their wine making process. We were on the tour with the most obnoxious group of people I have ever seen. They talked over the tour guide, made stupid jokes and were obviously drunk. But we managed to have fun anyway. We then went to another winery and did some tasting and then we headed off to the Mayo tasting room were they have an absolutely fabulous food/wine pairing. I was in heaven. Each bite sized meal had a wine that complimented it perfectly. It is truly amazing how the wine changed the taste of the food into a completely different experience. I was a little tipsy after the wine tasting so we went to get a coffee and then drove over the mountain to Napa and on to home. We had a great day and I will definitely be back to do the food/wine tasting again.

Here are some pictures from our day out:
