Holiday with kid continues - our 2008 year end Napa trip

Ah, you may have already heard from Rick that he was talking to people in the "industry" when we got to Napa, he was also rubbing shoulders with the food network chef, Michael Chiarelo, who just opened up Napa Style restaurant and store in Yountville, where we stayed at the Villagio. He's all inspired now that he's got insider info with a REAL sommelier. Cheers for the new year!

Napa in the winter is wrapped in morning fog, so nice.




Here's the V market place where Rick met Michael the sommelier, who gave him a free bottle.


We forgot something called "reservation", so we didn't get into Bouchon, but Rick met the sous chef in the bar anyways.


Nut was attracted by the christmas deco in the resort loby
