Wine

I'm not a wine guy, I'm a beer snob, but my wife wanted to go Nappa Valley for vacation (so of course we went). I ended up having a great time and actually enjoyed much of the wine. It was amazing to me that you could have the same type of wine from two places next to each other and they tasted totally different.

The wineries we enjoyed the most are:

Sterling: Really liked their merlots. The Three Palms Merlot is the best one but is $60/bottle.

Niebaum-Coppola: Their chardonneys were great.

Praeger: This is actually a Port place. They had great ports and the owners were super cool and friendly. The shirts they sell are all tie dies.

I recommend a trip to Nappa Valley or Sonoma to anyone even if they're not huge wine fans. It's really cool to wander through the places and just try out a ton of different wines.

Love Sterling cabernet! Gotta have it with a seared steak.

Coolest label I've seen lately--Papio wines. Has a funky illustration of monkeys playing latin jazz. I bought a bottle, but I can't tell you how it was because my fiance guzzled it, dammit.
