You knew we wouldn’t be so close to Wine Country without tasting some wine, right?

We took a day trip from San Francisco up to Sonoma County. Turned out we picked a great day for the drive. The weather in San Francisco was cold and damp, but shortly after crossing the Golden Gate Bridge the sky cleared up and it turned warm!

We visited the Buena Vista Winery, the oldest winery in California. We spent some time wandering the grounds and bought a bottle of their Pinot Gris after sampling it.

As we were driving north on Sonoma Highway we happened to notice B. R. Cohn Winery. About 15 years ago we had gone to a concert there and saw The Doobie Brothers. So we had to stop and relive the memory a little, knowing we’re going to see them again in a few weeks!

Now …

And then …

On the way home we stopped and had an early dinner at B&V Whiskey Bar and Grill. They had some great Italian food – which really surprised us based on the name!
