Spent the afternoon in Napa today...

...driving up the Silverado Trail.
Gorgeous fall day, the vinyards in fall color with the temp about 74.
Went to a private open house at Neyers Vinyards with friends who had an in.
Great food - roast pig, handmade pizzas in a brick oven, gnocci, etc.
Wine was good - I've always liked their chardonnay, their 2005 cab was a standout as was the zin they are discontinuing.
Then went to Frank Family vinyard further up the valley, usually one of our favorites. But it's changed - redone tasting room, new staff, no fun, all business. Forget it.
Driving back with the full moon over the vinyards and the early sunset - spectacular but a shock at 5:30PM.
