When: a couple weekends ago // Weather: cold // Real life: errands and shopping and such
Sweater + boots season is in full swing over here. Sweater + boots can get boring if you don’t switch it up sometimes with an unexpected shape or color, and that’s how a chartreuse oversized knit came into my life.
This time of year can be brutal, but I’m focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel – and by “light” I mean wine, because in a few weeks we head to Napa! I may still be wearing sweater + boots there, but it’s likely to be merely chilly instead of frigid, and chilly isn’t bad when you’re gazing at vineyards and mountains, vino in hand. 🙂
Anyone been to the Napa Valley and have a favorite spot? Please share! We’ll also be in San Francisco for a couple days and would welcome food recommendations.
Stay toasty out there, friends.

We were in Napa and Sonoma in July and these are a few of our Napa favorites:
Chimney Rock – bigger than some, but with a female winemaker
Jameson/Roots Run Deep – good wine, beautiful views
Pride Mountain Vineyards – excellent tour and good wine
Schramsburg – sparkling wine and a fun tour and tasting
Thanks you so much! Definitely interested in the sparkling wines 😉
Late on this one but I have so, so many SF food recs. In what neighborhood will you be staying?
You’re not too late! We will be near Twin Peaks.
My Twin Peaks knowledge is sketchy but Hayes Valley is fairly close — so many great boutiques, wine bars and restaurants in that neighborhood — I could recommend Riddler (sparkling wine bar), Cala (upscale Mexican), Nightbird (Californian – great tasting menu), Absinthe (French), Petit Crenn (also French obvs – love Dominique), Otoro Sushi, Rich Table (Californian – get the porcini doughnuts), Mr. Tipple’s Recording Studio (for jazz and cocktails). I also have strong opinions on restaurants in the Fillmore, SoMa / Embarcadero / Financial District, the Mission and Dogpatch if you find yourself in one of those neighborhoods!
Thanks soooo much! Just made a reservation at Mr. Tipple’s and getting ready to look at some of the others.
😀 WELL-DONE!
