Wine packaging has changed so much over the years. Boxed wine used to be frowned upon and now it is popular and there is no shortage of wines in a box.

The first full day of wine tasting in Napa was filled to the brim with wineries, five wineries in fact. Now, that seems like a lot to fit into one day, but we did it! No regrets!

Wining and Dining in Napa Valley After leaving San Francisco we headed to Muir beach and the Muir Wood Forest. We have always wanted to see the Redwoods and I have always wanted to dip my toes in the Pacific.

I have written about the fact that I am openly a snob about Rose wine. Rose from Provence is all I will drink…. until recently. Trader Joe’s has this power over me.
