Okay~! I promise this is the last trip for this summer…
I went to Napa with some girl friends today, we had a fun trip.
The first winery we visited was Trefethen.

It costs 10 dollar to do a tasting (4 kinds)…
I tried 2006 Dry Riesling, 2005 Chardonnay, 2006 S.I.N. Rosé of Pinot Noir, 2003 Merlot, and finally decided to get bottle of 2006 S.I.N. Rosé of Pinot Noir.
The grapes, they are super SWEET!

Robert Mondavi Winery was the next one since it is so famous.
I tried 2003 Pinot Noir, 2005 Chardonnay and 2005 Moscato d’oro. Moscato d’oro was suggested by the server since she sew we are all young girls and might be interested in somehow a sweeter wine, the result was, WE ALL LOVE IT! Each of us bought this wine in the end.
WE had our lunch at Rutherford Grill, kinda pricey BUT good food!

Because the girls (two of them were just visiting) wanted to see Snoopy museum, we didn’t have time to make anymore stop at Napa valley but just go straight to Santa Rosa after lunch.
The museum was getting closed in 20 minutes when we finally arrived there…

There was no point to buy a ticket to get in and seeing things in rush, we just hanged around the gift shop and take some pictures then head back home.
