wine, food, and conversation between friends
Napa is the place that comes to mind when most people think about going wine tasting. Ridge Vineyard has a beautiful estate in Cupertino in the hills. Their wine is great too. It is only a short drive up from San Jose.
We did the single estate vineyard flight for $10. After tasting all four, we decided on the 2007 Lytton Estate Zinfandel (Primitivo) for out picnic. We had picked up food from Whole Foods on the way. They have a lovely picnic area with large tables for people. After finishing our bottle, we walked up a few steps to be greeted by the love view of the valley. It was an amazing day for early January. The temperature was about 62 and sunny. We couldn’t have asked for a better day for the middle of Winter.
There is nothing better than sharing a bottle of wine, food and good conversation with a friend.
