Wednesday Winefest

What it is, reader! I've just come off a Napa drunkfest with out of town visitors. My liver sort of hurts and the very idea of wine makes me feel a little queasy but let's not dwell on such unpleasantness and instead revel in grapey-ness.

Of the seven wineries we visited, my hands down favorite was Robert Biale. Known for their Zinfandels, they also had a great Sangiovese and other yummy reds that we enjoyed on the patio basking under heat lamps while chatting with the warm and knowledgeable staff. Tasting at Biale is by appointment only, as it turns out all the newer wineries are now per Napa County requirements.
